Paying board

There may have been a thread on this before, but what are peoples thoughts on paying board (or whatever you want to call it) to their parents?
If you are living at home- should you pay it (as long as it is a reasonable amount), or not?

Of course I think you should contribute. You're at an age where you're earning money and can help your parents, who, have looked after you a lot and are letting you stay - it's a lot harder moving out.

Maybe think about somewhere from 25%-40% going towards costs like bills and stuff. It's also a good chance for you to budget properly.

That's just my opinion, not knowing much about paying boards.

I agree.
Once you are working, earning your own money you should contribute. How much you should contribute depends on the situation/how much you are earning. You are at an age where you should contribute. Its usually a lot cheaper and easier living at home than moving out.
If you are still studying, then it depends on the situation. I worked part time all through 6th form and college (i didnt go to uni), and did more hours in the holidays etc. I paid £10 a week. But everyone/their circumstances are different and not every student is in a position to pay any board.

when I was I did pay a decent amount (£500 a month) and yes I'd say the same thing to anyone that it's a good thing (i didn't mention that I was taking home £10k a month before i moved into my own place)
