[QUOTE="KFld, post: 35803, member: 2442"] I would be happy that she's making enough to pay the bills and pays you back like she said she would. Once she doesn't pay you back, then I would worry about it. My difficult child is terrible with money and bill paying. that is why I like the fact that the soberhouse requires him to pay them weekly. He gets paid every two weeks, so as soon as he gets paid he pays 2 weeks rent before anything else. Everything else is included in his rent, so he doesn't have to worry about u.i., etc. I think most of it has to do with organizational skills. I have tried to teach him how to budget. I have figured out how much his bills are a month and told him how much he needs to save every week to have that money at the end of the month when the bills come in. He just doesn't do it. For now I'm just so happy that he's clean, working full time and has the money to pay his bills, so how he pays them has taken a back burner in my concerns for him. Maybe you could try the budget thing with her and see if that would help her knowing exactly what she has to put aside every week and then have her come over and pay the bills online so she learns the process.
