Adult Kids - Do/Should They Still Pay Board?

[ss_storm]

My older brother will be 24 this year and still lives at home. He works as a farmhand for my parents and mum takes money for board out of his wages each week.

I think if they are working then it is fair enough they help contribute to the household they are living in, even if it's only $50 or $100 each week it's still a financial contribution and sets them up for their future responsibilities when they do eventually move out of home (although in my brother's case I don't think he'll ever leave )

We plan to make our kids pay board, and then invest it for them to give them later in life for a house

Thanks everyone - maybe I'm not as old-fashioned as I'd thought!
