It's the question most parents ask themselves at some point: Should I charge my adult working children board or allow them to live at home free so they can accumulate savings? What say you CE? --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would understand a parent charging their children some type of rent, like paying the bills helping with the mortgage etc. but if they are profiting off their kids than thats a kinda scummy parent

I was always told I could stay at home as long as I was in school or saving for a down payment. I kept up my end of the bargain and moved out 8 months after I graduated (when I bought my first place).

Not that's dumb, just because they are an adult doesn't mean they don't need help. Why have a kid if you are just gonna abandon them after age 18?

I mean, I think that would depend on each family's unique situation. Sometimes their children need some extra help. Sometimes their children are taking advantage of their kindness. Sometimes a family has the resources to provide for a longer period of time. Sometimes they don't. I certainly wouldn't want to dictate how the family is to run themselves.

Depends on the person. Some people need to feel the sting and others dont...usually the dont's are already out unless they're saving money to move out

It's different for each family I'm 100% sure.
That said I started paying 300 a month at 17 1/2 lol. Partially because it's what we did with my older sister and partially because my moms needed help at the time since it was just her and I. TBH the way I view it, if you can mitigate them having to waste money on renting (especially in places like California) then you probably should. The rest comes down to what you teach your children about handling money responsibility and saving and shit. Ideally that makes more sense then trying to instill values through charging for the hell of it.

Makes sense as long as they have a job. But if that's the case there shouldn't be any non-house rules (curfew, etc.).

Pretty sure anyone who votes "No" is currently living with their parents for free.

Depends on the kid. If they are 100% focused and succeeding in school, no.
If they are kind of just floating aimlessly while they try to find out what they want to do with their lives (like i was), yes. Having real bills and no safety net was the only thing that urged my lazy ass to get my life going. --- balls ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ive read about some parents doing that but then putting the money away in a savings account and then giving it to the kid when they moved out. I like that idea. I wouldnt have them pay rent just to pay it though.

If you're over 18 and have some sort of income and are using internet/utilities, pay your share
