My son, who lives with his mum, has just finished college and is looking for a job. In the meantime, he has a bit of part-time work on the go. He earns maybe £80 a week. I don't any longer pay my ex towards his keep since he's now over 18 and not in full time education.
How much rent should he pay his mother?
I heard that 20% is common, but a quick Google reveals some people saying trotting out a rule of thumb that teenagers should "pay board 1/3, save 1/3, spend 1/3".
What do you do?
My ex is an unreasonable bitch, so for anyone thinks "be nice, don't charge him anything", don't bother replying !
