[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s great. No rush since it’s to help her out.

But Here is a plan: have your DD pay you done nominal amount (or whatever you are both comfortable with) in “rent”. This is so she gets used to paying something and you don’t feel taken advantage of. When she moves out, she gets it back 100%. So it’s like a savings to get as well. And a win-win when she does leave. So if it’s $300 a month, she gets her $3600 back when she moves out. Will keep her motivated and could be a food security deposit or furniture when she does get her own place.

If something happens and she ends up staying longer, then that’s even more; but the $ may be an incentive for her to want to leave and be on her own sooner.[/quote]

NP - Not "silly" at all.  The daughter will accumulate a "nest egg" this way.  The amount may only be nominal but it will help her ease into adult responsibilities. We did this with both our adult children, who spent about a year at home each, then "launched" into professional careers.  Apart from helping with weddings and home down payments, they have been independent since.
