[quote=Anonymous]Well, this is a weird year given the pandemic. And I’m not sure I’d want someone living in my house doing a dangerous job like working in a restaurant or grocery store anyway. Maybe chalk this up to a lost year, but tell him he needs to come up with a good plan for next year.

It’s October. Tell him he needs to apply to school for next fall. He has to give you evidence of the applications being turned in by January. If he does not do that, he starts paying full rent and his share of the utilities starting in January. If he does not want to go to college next fall, then he needs to either move out in February or start paying you six hundred a month to cover rent and utilities. Do not subsidize him otherwise. Clear out a space in the cabinet for his own groceries that he buys himself.

Keep him on your health insurance. But tell him that as of next month, you will not pay for his phone, car insurance, car payment, toiletries, clothes, or gas.

If he doesn’t want to go to college full time, he needs to have a plan to get a job.

I’d say he needs to get a job right now, but that really depends on whether you want him going out to a job and possibly bringing covid back into your house.
