[quote=Anonymous]I do think charging rent helps. I lived my mom for 2 years post college. After the first year, she started charging me rent. It was not market rate, but a few hundred dollars. It helped me get used to paying it! Then I found an apartment with a friend that was only a few hundred more dollars and I never looked back. But I did always know I *could* live with her if I really needed or wanted to. She never kicked me out. That type of safety net is incredible. I also had $10k in savings before I moved out, which I never needed to touch but was invaluable for life lessons (like a surprise $1500 car maintenance). I guess it depends on the personalities involved. I do think encouraging your young adult kids to live on their own is a good idea. But to give them a few years to work and save money is really priceless. [/quote]
