You guys don't pay rent when you lived with your parents? Was that just me??
I don’t have the best relationship with my parents, but it’s not that bad.
Can be more about how your parents are doing financially that how much they like you.
My mom charged me from 18 because of how much she was getting before. My dad passed away in military service so my mom was getting checks from the VA for me and my sister until I turned 18. At 18 she lost that, and thus rent was due
That's crazy...
I didn't pay rent especially since my parent own their home, but contributed to groceries.
I tried to, but she wouldn't accept it.
"Paying rent" was me paying all the bills until I moved out one day and said "duces" after finding a shake and bake lab in the basement.
I was able to live rent free with my parents until I was 25. I just took my paycheck every week and put it towards my loans while in college. By 27 I was debt free with a bachelor's degree.
Pfft. Try paying almost $500 a month for a shitty room that was always yours until you turned 18, now suddenly it's a "fee" to live here...
For sure, that's what I did, cept my rent was 750$
Hahah you got until 18?
When I was working, I was paying rent but it was much lower than if I had been on my own. Plus it was a flat rate so I didn't have to add utilities or even car insurance.
Now that I'm not able to work I give them my food stamps. So I still contribute just not much unfortunately.
But yeah, I am thankful that my parents allow this arrangement.
My options were paying for my tuition or paying rent. If I was paying tuition. I got to live for free at home. 6 months after I wasn't paying tuition rent kicked in..... I moved out instead of paying to live in my mom's basement. I'm very very grateful for that arrangement, otherwise my student loans would have been significantly higher.
I did from 18.
I paid a little bit (like £100 a month), and pretty much saved the rest.
If I was spunking it all away on shit I didn't need, I'm sure they'd have charged me a lot more.
I guess some parents need the money more than others. For sure, you are not the only one.
