How much money is appropriate to take as 'keep'?
We're thinking maybe a quarter of income up to a maximum of £50 but is that unfair?
Certainly if DS was earning a pittance he'd consider 1/4 to be too much but if he was earning a lot £50 would be a lot less than he'd pay out if he rented a flat.
He would then be able to put money away towards a house deposit or whatever.
We're torn between wanting them to be prepared for the expense of independent living while contributing towards the enormous food shopping bill and wanting them to enjoy their money before they have to live in the real world.
What do you charge?
