** Pretty much. The way it generally works when you have staff is that once or twice a week you have a sitdown with them and go through things like shopping and meal planning, and discuss rough costs, then you give them either funds or a credit/charge card to cover those. Once a month you'll go through the statements and check that against instructions and accounts, and discuss any changes going forward. The staff who does the buying will present a full set of receipts to be passed onto the family accountant for their taxes. Having staff means trusting them, and being in service means being trustworthy. Geoffrey will be accountable for all the spending he does, and that will be reviewed regularly.

* Whenever Uncle Phil screwed up, he was ExiledToTheCouch. Problem is the family lives in a friggin' mansion. There weren't any guest rooms he could have slept in instead? For that matter, why did Will and Carlton have to bunk together whenever there were guests? Again, there weren't any guest rooms that the guests could have stayed in?
** My guess it it's indeed a big house, but not exactly a mansion (given the Geoffrey takes care of the place single-handed rather than a larger staff) and the bedrooms are similarly big and when Will moved in he got the only guest room. Between the people that already live there before Will moves in there are at least ''five'' bedrooms (Phil and Vivian, Hillary, Carlton, Ashley, and Geoffrey) plus the guest room that became Will's bedroom.
** There was always the pool house, as seen in later seasons.
*** Since it's punishment from his wife, I'd expect the reason being that he'd make the situation even worse if he did sleep in a real bed?
*** In "Sooooul Train" it was mentioned Uncle Phil was staying in the pool house after a particularly bad fight, and Aunt Viv didn't seem to mind

** As Phil pointed out in episode Jazz has no friends so when Will took a liking to him age didn’t matter.
