Instill the "Protestant Work Ethic" into him,
Allowance should be contingent on completion of an appropriate number of chores.
Make him start paying rent after he graduates high school. You might let him stay rent free if and only if he is a full time student who his passing his courses.
If you are bankrolling him as an adult, you can check his grades. You can impose rules. You can even ground him. Tell him that if he doesn't like the restrictions, tell him you will treat him like an adult when he starts acting like one.
