I know, it's a bit of a how-long-is-a-piece-of-string question. But son is now unemployed and living back at home. I'd no problem supporting him during the long drawn out process of claiming unemployment, especially as (being under 25) he's assessed on my means. An extremely unpleasantly intrusive process. Anyway, he's now getting €188 per week, and is willing to contribute to the household. There's only the 2 of us. My gross income is c 41K, and my mortgage is 1600 pm.
When working, he was paying €100 per week out of a 21K income. We are skirting around the issue, no figures mentioned so far
What would be a fair amount? Thanks!
Oooops! Just saw the other thread on this - but the offspring were working and finished college. Mine is/was trying to save for college, having I hope overcome his spendthrift ways. But Mods, do merge if you feel it's warrented.
