[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what my husband parents did years and years ago that I thought was pretty smart. They charged him a nominal rent that they put into a savings account for him without letting him know about the account initially. They made it clear what the rent covered - room, utilities, family meals on weekends (on own for weekdays and any snacks/extras). Upon moving out, he was informed that they money was there for him, but they said it should go toward his first home purchase. It wasn't much, but the extra 10k did help when we bought our first place a few years ago. Paying rent helps teach responsibility. It also doesn't cause harsh fights that kicking them out/evicting would. They may not want to pay rent and may want to move out, which is also fine. At the age they are, they need to learn the value of money and hard work. [/quote] I like this idea. They definitely need to learn some responsibility. [/quote]
