[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems fine, honestly. Some people don't like living alone and roommates can be got it miss.

I would have her pay some amount if rent and deposit it in a HYSA that she will get as a gift towards a down payment or wedding when she moves out.

I would also discuss household contributions before hand, like cooking, cleaning, keeping rooms tidy, etc. A HS or college kid I'd feel comfortable saying "put your laundry away and you have to help with dinner." A 25/26 year old I would not want to *have* to tell her these things and would be resentful if she fell into teenage behavior of slacking in those areas, so I'd want to feel comfortable that she understands the difference between being a kid in our house and being a contributing adult.[/quote]

+1.  Since she is working FT without debt,  I would ask for an amount to cover the extra cost of food, utilities and household supplies but not give it to her later. It is much less than rent so she should not balk at paying it. [/quote]
