[quote=Anonymous]I've done this before (as the young 20s person) and it worked out very well. I have dietary needs so I did not eat with the family but was responsible for my own meals and may have sat down with them if was home when they were eating. I cleaned up after myself and did my own laundry of course. They had a cleaning service but I would help out by taking care of the dog when they were away or taking out the trash or recycling and also helped with the garden. So I was able to contribute to the household.

It was a great experience for all of us. There were no set rules. I always let them know if I wasn't sleeping at home ( via text or email so if they woke up at midnight and realized I wasn't there, they wouldn't worry).

The arrangement lasted for over a year and I was able to save a lot of money and pay down my student loans. It was very valuable to save like this so early on in my career, esp because I was working at a non profit and would have otherwise been barely scraping by. [/quote]
