Ask Amy: It’s not fair that my rent doesn’t buy me any extras

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:26:26 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m in my early 20s and living at home. I’m paying my parents rent, but the money I pay doesn’t include anything else – just the room.This doesn’t seem fair to me, and I’d really appreciate hearing what you think of this.– Renter at HomeDear Renter: You’ve just described … rent. When you rent, you pay the owner of the dwelling for the roof over your head. That’s all.When you’re a child, your parents provide all of the extras. When you’re an adult, having someone else do the cooking, cleaning and laundry is what happens at a hotel.Once you accept this reality, you should do some research to see if you are able to afford rent and living expenses elsewhere. You may find that – even without the extras – you are benefiting from the lower cost of living at home.Many young people use this transition period at home as a way to aggressively save money toward the higher cost of living elsewhere.Dear Amy: About two years ago, I messaged “Bradley” on social media.
