As long as they need if their doing positive things in life they'll always be welcomed in my house

*no kids post*
 
28 for a son(that's extra 10 years, so that means when he move out, he's getting a house, not renting), whenever marriage for a daughter.
 
Like you said it's circumstantial, If my kids was spending their money on shit I would charge them rent and save it for them without them knowing, I don't want them making the mistakes i made, all the money I wasted makes me feel sick thinking about it.
 
Turn 18 gotta pay unless they in college.Once they get a job gotta pay regardless.Even if they are not 18.My nephew was shocked when he got a job and my bro asked for that bill money lol.
 
they'd be paying towards their future. it'd go towards a little nest egg so when they were ready to go they'd have something, if only to get furniture or what not. all support would get cut though, after 18 no clothes, cell, etc. they bills gone be just that, they bills. and nothing brand new off the lot for my son, he won't get a beater, but I got a lil something we work on during the weekends that he'll get at 16.

Excellent idea.

Once they're 18, they have to start kicking in. The purpose is to teach them responsibility and to make sure they develop good habits with their money, first and foremost of which is PAYING THEIR BILLS ON TIME!

 
You can teach them financial responsibility by making them save with RRSP and other saving accounts and you keeping track of it. Paying bills just spending money on their part, I'd be financially stable I wouldn't want them to pitch in, if anything I learned so far is that, there's no point making your kids waste money if you can show them the ropes without doing so, if they are bone headed and don't get the importance of money it's different, but if they know, they know, no need to go overboard and charging little shits, esp if you grown enough to provide for your fam. I know how important it is to have financial breather and freedom when you young, life is short, life needs to be enjoyed without being suffocated by money, and if I can do that for my kids without being hurt, I will, of course this comes with the fact that when they are ready to leave the nest, I want them set and ready, not struggling.

They can stay for as long as they need, I ain't charging. I'm sure there's a line I'll draw, but I'm not here to be another hurdle they have to jump.

 
It costs to care for another person.What world yall living in?Feeding and clothing a kid for 18 years is hard enough.Than they use electricity.
 
I wouldn't charge them. All that rent money they paying me they could put toward funds to get their own place. Me charging them rent is just prolonging their moving out
 
Nah i wont charge my kids rent, aint no fucking in my house though. Idgaf if my son 22, he still gonna be fucking in the car.
 
I'd assign them one of the cheaper bills, have them buy groceries and pay for their own gas.

Teaching them to manage their money would be the idea.
