[quote=Anonymous]My roommate in college was super wealthy.  She was really nice, but had the worst habit of borrowing money and then forgetting to pay it back.  She just really did forget.  Borrowing $20 or $50 was nothing to her.  Like you wouldn't expect to give someone back a cup of sugar you borrowed.  And she never had any cash on her.  Sigh.

So, I agree with others that she may be very, very nice and love being part of your low-key family. But she may also do things that are just clueless in the money front because she doesn't really know the value of money.  Just make sure your son understands that when she suggests they go out to dinner someplace nice, and then go to the movies, and then.... that's it's totally okay for him to say that would blow his allowance for the next six months, and he'd rather just get some fro yo and watch netflix.  So long as he feels confident and not like he needs to play in her world, I think he'll be fine.  And if she's the kind of girl that's too good to go for fro yo and hang out for the evening, then he probably needs to move on, right?

I'd also have the talk about the separate wing of the house and bedroom, and what your expectations are....
