I think it is a good lesson for teens to earn money towards the things they want to buy for themselves, while still basically being supported by the parents for food, shelter and NECESSARY clothing. If the daughter is no longer a teen, she should pay her own way vis a vis clothing,and other incidentals, especially if she is not paying rent and utilities. She definitely should pay for her phone bills. This hopefully gives her the incentive to spend wisely.
My dad gave part of his paycheck to his parents, to help pay for the household expenses, from the first day that he began working.
I think that many of today’s generation often seem to feel entitled in many respects, so it is a good idea for all working sons and daughters to put SOMETHING tzu shteier towards the home expenses, and certainly for their own. It is never a good thing for someone to get a totally free ride. JMO.
