Without monthly housing expenses, your son would no doubt have lots more disposable income, which could allow him to live larger on his salary than he otherwise could (a nicer car, better vacations, more partying with friends, etc.). But he would be getting a false impression of what it takes to live within his means. Essentially, he would be living in a fantasy world that's available only because you're subsidizing him. If he remains in such a situation long enough, it could make his eventual adjustment to the real world -- where people do have to pay rent or make mortgage payments and adjust other spending as a result -- more difficult.
