Board

[Sexyfothermucker]

Hi. My DS19 starts a full time job next week. He will be coming out with just short of £1700.
I have no idea how much board to charge. Some are saying £200 pcm. Others are saying a 1/3 of his monthly wage.
Could anyone help please?

I suppose how much depends on if you need the money or not.

This is true.

You should charge a bit less than what a room in a sharehouse would cost around where you live, and have him contribute to groceries and bills. That way he won't get a rude shock when he moves out and suddenly has a lot of expenses. If you can afford it you can keep it aside to give it to him later when he wants to buy a house.
