Those of you who live at home with your parents/family. How much rent do they charge you?

It's fair enough to ask your kids to contribute if the household is struggling or if you think they are making no effort to save any money and pissing it away, but if you are financially comfortable and they do actually want to move out all you are doing is gimping them financially by taking money from them for yourself and making it more difficult for them to move out while also having a life.

The best thing you can do if you don't need the money is charge 'rent' and keep dumping it in a savings account so they don't waste it all, your kids would thank you when they have a couple of grand towards getting a place or a house deposit or travelling or something.
