My son is 23 and sometimes embarrassed that he still lives at home but he can't afford to move out at the moment despite having a full time job. He pays me £250 a month, which includes a contribution to council tax since I lost the 25% discount when he left school and started working. I haven't raised his "board" since he started paying it 4 years ago and I don't intend to as he is saving to move on as well as applying for a much better paid job.
