How much should a 16 year old contribute to his keep? He gets about 450 a month. Not going to any college lessons, no job. I buy all his food and clothes, everything basically.
I have his phone contract paid out of his bank account. Should I pay for his clothes out of his account ?
We don't give him cash as he just buys vapes and then lies about it. He has a Hyper Card so he can buy snacks etc when out with friends. This is a teenager with some learning disabilities and ADHD

25% of any income regardless of the source.

Surely his money is to pay for food, clothes and 'phone contract.
