[quote=Anonymous]Rather than charge rent, why don't you require them to (1) get a job and (2) put a portion of their earnings into savings? It builds good habits and it probably feels less punitive to a kid than rent. I do think if a kid is living with you, the kid has to accept that there are rules and the kid also has to understand that things cost money. The goal I think for any parent is that the kid can eventually live independently. I will say in other countries, it is much more common for kids to live at home until they get married. This is often true in places where housing is prohibitively expensive. Living at home is really a good way for kids to save up while trying to launch their lives.[/quote]
