[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused, does he live rent free with mom? I recently lived with my parents rent free for a couple years to save money. I took home 4000 a month. I bought my own food and easily saved 2000 a month without even trying, but usually saved 2500 to 3200. It does not cost that much to live if all you have to pay is food and phone (did not have a car). There is something wrong with this picture.[/quote] Yep, stepson lives rent free with mom. She also bought his car, pays his car insurance, car taxes, and cell phone. We pt his health insurance. If he had any sense of responsibility, he could be saving HUGE money. Instead, he's blowing everything. He goes to concerts nearly every weekend, hosts big tailgate parties, gets tattoos, goes on vacations, buys $300 sunglasses, goes out to meals a lot. It's pretty easy to blow it all if you don't need to save any. Last year he brought up the idea of moving in with us and I actually overstepped and answered immediately that he could live with us if he was a full time student and contributed chores to the household or if he was working full time and would out at least half of his income into savings. He makes enough to get a place to share with buddies but I said we would be happy to help him if he were saving for a goal like going back to college. He was like, what!!? You guys have to pay if I go back to college! You always said you'd pay for college! (His father did say that.) so I suggested maybe he's want to save for a car (why? Mom bought me one!) or some other goal, but he wasn't having it. I was just the evil stepmom who was making him feel unwelcome to move back home. And that, frankly, I don't mind being. If he's not a student or saving money, he IS unwelcome here. I'm not going to disrupt my household to enable his partying. [/quote]
