I currently live with my brother due to circumstances. Things have been this way the last 2 years. When it was just us, we split rent 50/50. When he got married this year we split rent 3 ways.
Back 15 years ago, I rented the downstairs of a duplex my ex wife’s uncle was buying. He and I split the mortgage 50/50. Same anytime i was living with my parents.
I had to pay $150/month in 05 when I graduated college and started a full time job. My brother still lives with them, he pays $0 regardless of if he’s working or not. He’s 38.
I lived with my parents until I was 25. Told me to stay and save up to buy a house. My wife stayed with her parents too for the same reason. We bought a house together and got married shortly after. Neither one of us were charged anything.
Shortly after dad got divorced and needed company, me and the newlywed wife moved in. He didn’t ask for a penny. He cooked for us every night, didn’t care if I spent a large chunk of my considerable paychecks having fun trips with my wife. We were there for 4 months, saved up enough for a good house payment, I also gave him 2 house payments and replaced his upstairs AC unit with a new one. He’s as good as gold.
$0 they won’t take a single cent from me. I work, but my parents couldn’t imagine taking rent from their own child. My aunts and uncles are the same. Whenever I want to help them, they tell me to save up instead. They’re truly incredible parents. I’m blessed.
I don’t pay but I’m hardly ever there. Use the money to travel instead. Still comes out cheaper than half of the rent if I was to get my own place in this city.
While I was at home, my parents refused any and all financial contribution. In a different world, they would have likely charged me a token amount as a way to force savings, and given it all back when I moved out. When I asked them about it years later, they acknowledged that would have been best for them financially, but they saw how frugal/responsible I was with my own money, so they were confident that I would save more on my own than if I was to pay a rent and have a clearcut disposable portion of income.
We have my wife’s 32 year old son living with us after he divorced. I don’t charge him rent, but he does help out around the house a lot. He does all of the yard work and any other odd job we need done and buys a lot of groceries.
Nothing. They refuse to let me. However, that doesn’t mean you should be having them clean up after you like you’re still a child. I do my own laundry, I clean up the house and often make us dinner.
I lived at home for ~7 months after graduating from college until my full time job began. I did not pay rent, but I act as a pseudo caretaker for my father who had a heart attack three weeks before I came home and was temporarily immobile (several months).
But we basically have an unwritten agreement that I save as much as possible until I move out
I was a financially responsible kid, so they were able to trust me at my word. And I save 90% of my salary while earning more than them. Keep it up another 3-5 years any I might be able to afford a down payment on a house… god I hate the housing market

$0 blessed to be in a brown household, I also live in one of the most expensive cities so it helps to save up

When I lived at home for almost 5 years, they never charged me a dime. I love them dearly.
I have three kids living with me, 2 are adults. They won’t pay a dime of rent until they’re out of college.
my son is 18 and isnt expected to pay anything. he helps with chores sometimes.

I don’t pay anything because I don’t have a job, but back when I was employed, I paid 200 per month.
Nothing I’m not making money yet
Parents that request money from their children to live with them better desperately need that money to stay a float.
If you can’t support your children, you shouldn’t have had kids.
I was last year and probably around $800/mo. I paid more but part of it was my own phone bill and car insurance. Also, one parent not both.
My son pays for cable and net.that is his rent .he needs good Internet .
“Free” at the cost of My mental health
None. We have a house. But I do help pay some of the bills.
I won’t say I pay rent but I help out lol. Cover atleast a bill or something

Zero, they don’t make me pay. I help with all of the responsibilities of the house, and I don’t just sit at home and do nothing.
Wife and I are trying to decide on what to charge our older kids.
He skipping college and just landed a pretty decent paying full time job.
500$
I’m answering in regard to my boyfriend. I stay with them and pay 200 of it

I think we all agree it evened out.
Adjusted for inflation I paid my parents about $600/month when I lived with them.
parents wanted rent when I was in college said no got kicked out and now they wonder why I barely talk to them
I don’t
