[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 529882, member: 7170"] A couple thoughts... I don't pay allowances either, I allow them to live here that's all the allowance they get regardless of age I will come up with jobs to earn money - if want something and willing to work for it. Auto insurance is the responsibility of the person driving the car (or rapping it around the tree) not the owner same goes for gas Anyone with money for alcohol or drugs has money for rent My dad did it with me, I've done it with my son & friends (people staying until they get on their feet) Put a portion of rent they pay into an envelope to help them on a security deposit my dad banked 50% for me but I had a child and needed out as soon as possible for everyone's sake my son being here was costing about 300 a month so I put away 50% of anything over 300 It seems when rent portion is being saved for them they are more ready to hand it over. I also noticed they tend to pay you more then you asked for (at least my son does) It got me out of my parents house at least a year quicker then I could have on my own. That security envelope saved us financial burden when my son's work closed their doors and it took 3 months to find another job. (student loans & auto insurance close to wiped out his saving so me being able to get his rent there helped a lot) I'm new to this forum I hope some of this helps [/QUOTE]
