In my family, when you first started working, you had to give 20%, at least, to the parents for lodging. It was a way to teach us to manage our money.

Decades after I moved out of their house, my parents would come and visit me for three-four months out of the year. I said teasingly, "Well, you can stay, but you have to pay rent."

They promptly said they wouldn't expect to not pay rent, and gave me about a quarter of my mortgage payment for rent, as well as purchasing food, helping with the cable bill, and also helping me work on my (decidedly older) house (we installed a new floor in the kitchen, the porch, ripped up carpet, put on a roof, and installed new toilets over the years they stayed with me).

It was kind of cool.
