Parents that allow adult children to live for free are setting their children up to be dependent on someone else the rest of their life.

Why not have them invested $600 a month in a Roth IRA account. In 5 years they should have close to 43k to use towards buying a home if they want. That is a great way to teach them financial independence and success.

I have two adult children living with us at home. They both pay $700 and they are responsible for electricity and internet since they stay up till whatever time they choose. They also pay for their vehicles, insurance and phone bills. Only one of them has a car payment because he bought his first car all on his own. The beautiful thing about this we get to hang out with our adult kids and they love it and us enjoy it more.

I agree that kids working and living at home with their parents should contribute something.

once your child is over a certain age there's nothing wrong with making them learn what responsibilities are

I charged my son $300/mnth.
But he needed to start saving for a place of his own.
After 8mnths,he saved enough for a down payment for his own 3bdrm townhouse.
After he took possession, I gave all his rent money back, so he could furnish his first home.

Charge them but save it for when they are ready to leave. I will never spend my children’s money.

I took it a step further. I charge them monthly but put it away and when they do move out they will have a savings to move out with. they also have to take the portion of their check and save it on their own.

I respect your decision.
The reason I don't is when I was on my own I went broke and nowhere to go. I don't want that feeling for my kids to go through.

Charge them rent and put that money aside for them without them knowing. Once they’re ready to move out it’s a nice down payment on their future home.

I have three girls they’ve been on their own since they were out of school, but they’re all talking about buying a family compound not living in the same house but all on the same property like everyone pitch in. I think it might be a good idea.

So my kids moved out 2 years ago average cost of living was around 3000. Lost their jobs moved back with us, had a lease that we had to continue to pay around 2000 for about 4 months! Guess what I’m collecting money from them because they had no problem giving a stranger rent!
