[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is his reason for wanting to live at home if he makes $125k/year?[/quote]

I do not know. I think he is comfortable here. Yes, we don't have to charge him anything. We are pretty comfy without his help. [/quote]

I think you answered your own question OP. Maybe he is TOO comfy in your home?  Does he have to cook, clean, do his own laundry? Run errands?  Grocery shop?  I’m in my 40s and there are certainly days I’d like to move to my childhood home and have a tasty, nutritious meal waiting after a long day, my laundry appearing in my room clean and folded in a basket and the yardwork magically done. Adult life doesn’t work that way.

Maybe the issue isn’t money if he has a decent salary and your family is affluent. I would make sure any adult child living with me had to adult.  So yes, a reasonable rent (20-25% of take home) into a savings account for him.   Since we have cleaners, in my hoise that would also mean being in charge of their own meals and meal prep on dinner 2x a week, doing their own laundry, running household errands sometimes.  and owning the yardwork. When my college kids are home on breaks they know they know they have to do laundry, 1 meal each a week and cleanup after meals they don’t cook, their own laundry and take turns mowing.

If nothing else, don’t had a future spouse someone who assumes the work of running a home magically happens without them lifting a finger. It doesn’t. And a kid who is old enough to make 125k is old enough to understand adulting includes more than just holding down a job.
