i got a uh a question to pose here okay and it's something i was going to do like in trending news but then i thought oh this is a good one though this is too good okay so it's trending right now the hashtag that is trending is parents charging rent it's been on tiktok i don't know if you've run into this megan because i know you're on tiktok eight billion times a day what yes the tiktok parents charging rent has reached more than 59.7 billion views okay so that's a lot of use. And here is the situation. Erica and Cody Archie of Gatesville, Texas took a TikTok or took to TikTok to share their thoughts on a subject about their daughter, Kylie Deason, 19 years old, a high school graduate, graduated in May 2022. And since May 2022, she has been going to college, But she has also, you ready for this, been, when she is home, paying her parents $200 a month rent.

In this economy? Very, very discounted, right? All right.

Compared to what she would pay for the rent. In this economy, and Megan, you bring up a very good point. Because Kylie's parents are saying that that $200 a month rent is their way for them to teach her a little bit about the real world, but also giving them the opportunity to be able to take care of some of the economic problems that have been going on with the high expenses that they have, paying for, you know, food and paying for their electric and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. um so they say that they charge her that and they give her the same access that she got in her house to her house when she was living there full time but because she is home for certain months summertime months especially and then of course the vacation months of the holiday break that she gets they told her that she had to pay $200 a month and people have a viewpoint on this what is it curious um well according to uh the tiktok commenters they're saying that a majority of people think that parents should let their children move back into their home as adults like they did when they were kids and not charge them rent 73 most of them said that they would not charge them rent um 85 said that they would let them move back into their home but maybe have some kind of an agreement whether it be monetarily or they have to do certain things around the house to make up for it yeah and the report added that 73 percent of parents who would

charge rent still expect that there's a little bit of financial contribution to the household

bills like groceries? Thoughts? Putting it out there. Don't get me started. I think what you said is this girl was still in college, right? She is still in college right now. She's doing it now. For a full-time student to be in college and be charged rent to me, I feel currently in today's day and age is a bit unfair because the requirements in order to graduate when that comes to credit hours is much different than it used to be and it's way more of a full-time job than it used to be i would not have made enough money going to school full-time to pay rent so now you're choosing do i go to school or do i go get a full-time job and and pay rent okay god she's so glad she's not my daughter oh i'm sorry did i say that out loud no but i i actually had this conversation with my dad um this past weekend we went out to dinner and i told him how grateful i was for him because i would not be in the position i am now if i wasn't able to live at home for as long as i did i i would not be in this career because i wouldn't have had the financial means to do it i would have been busy working to pay bills instead of following

my passions yeah i listen i uh i get that i get the whole idea that you know you wouldn't be able to do it because you had to pay for yours right you had to pay for your school yeah did you pay

for it all or your dad give you any help he'd say he helped but i paid for it no i paid for it um

because the you know with our kids we help them with their college actually we pay for it i hate

to say it and when joe was here yeah he wasn't paying rent to you guys well this is the thing

This is the story with this whole kid named Joe, Joe Show. We told him that he had to pay rent, and so we would take the money from him. You did? But then we basically helped him after, you know, with having, you know, here's what we wanted to do. We wanted him to be able to have enough money to put a down payment down and be able to buy a house one day. So the goal was we were going to help him with things. And if he would have stayed here in town and not taken that job down in Florida, he probably could have stayed with us for a good period of time. But he decided, though, that he wanted to live on his own and go do it on his own because he felt like there was two, you know, we still had some rules under our roof, under my roof. And honestly, I would be fine with that. I was a kid who was out of my parents' house as a teenager because I lived with my sisters. If I could live with my family right now and all I had to do is pay $200 a month, I'd take it in a second. I wouldn't complain about it.

Yeah, but I think you're in a much different situation than these college kids are.

But back then I would have. I had to pay rent, you know, as 18 years old, 19 years old living.

Right, but my point is students today have a much different situation than students did when you were in college. so more credit hours are required and the pay I wouldn't say is similar so you're asking kids to

take on more responsibility for less pay I don't know I mean personally if this were Lucy for example who's nine years old this isn't gonna happen for a long time but I would never charge her rent to come back and live at home that's just I I would want to her to show responsibility in a different way but when I graduated from high school my mom was like that's it like we are done paying for stuff and so i had gravy train is over i had to get a job and she helped me when when she took me down to indianapolis to go to butler she said i'm gonna go around with you we're gonna get some applications like she wanted to make sure that i had a job set in place before school started and i did i did the game's over let the new games begin yeah no i think maybe i was still on their insurance or something you know until i graduated but like clothing food for the most part that was it was all on me i think that that's i think that's okay to do i i mean i i took a pretty heavy load of classes and i you know was the editor of the school newspaper was you know yeah i mean i did other things but i like that was part of the deal that i had to work to pay

for my stuff jillian says that she agrees with megan what's that jillian hi um so i'm a 22 year

old college student um on my second degree i'm a nursing student now and i've had very blessed parents who have helped me and are still helping me but i think that like if you have older parents and a lot of them are like oh when i was 18 i could get a job and i did this and did that and i paid for everything it's like today are you mocking us yes a little bit um well like everything is just so much more expensive like i am a very hard worker and i've done summer

jobs and i still could not like i would be in a box without my parents i would not i would be

living in the streets probably without them so so if they charge you a nominal fee like just a 100 200 you think that's too expensive i think that like there's there could be like different

um like agreements like i pay my own groceries and i take my own gas and my car and stuff like that but i can live under their roof for free i would be fine i think that if you yeah like if you show some responsibility then i think that that's fine but if you're just like oh you're gonna pay for everything and i'm gonna sit on the couch and play video games or something that's not

really right yeah that's no that's good that's a good point lisa what's up hi i am 49 and my mom

now lives with me rent free but she was very hard on me when i dropped out of college she said oh you want to drop out of college well here's my mortgage and you have to pay half we had a really big house so she would charge me 300 a week that was for light gas water and rent with that being said at 23 when i actually moved out of her house she gave me a yellow envelope with all of that money in it and took me to buy my very first house that's very cool that is a great thing

What a good mama. Isn't that nice?

I was mad at the time. Yeah. But that's why I treat her like a queen now.

Yeah. That's why she's living with you and not on the streets right now, right?

Exactly. And sometimes we think, like, our parents are so hard on us and we can't stand it. But at the end of the day, it's probably for a good reason. Yep.

Yeah.

Melanie, what's going on? It's Mojo in the Morning.

Morning. I am on the same page with Mojo. My 19-year-old son, he lives back at home with me. My rule is that every week he has to give me half his paycheck that goes into the safe, and then I save it for him for if he wants to buy something that's a little more extreme, like he paid cash for his own car and things like that. The only thing that I require in the house is that he has to do at least one chore a day. So, like, one day he'll have the kitchen chores. The next day he'll have the bathroom chores and things like that. That's my only requirement, but I don't require him to pay rent.

Okay, that's nice, too. It's like what that mom did to our last caller. Yeah, it saved a little money for her. I would have moved back home in a heartbeat if my mom had suggested it. That's such a good idea. Yeah, well, listen, I'd move home with your mom right now if she would suggest that idea. John, what's going on?

Hi. You know, I'm just saying, I'm a graduate student. I'm working towards my Ph.D. And my parents helped me out while I was in college a little bit. And realistically, like, that $200, like, you guys don't need it. College is very different than what it was when you guys were in school. And what are you really getting out of the $200? It's not really helping you guys out. You guys probably already paid off your house. I mean, for me.

I don't necessarily know that.

Also, hear me out. I don't think it's for the parents. out. Well, sometimes it is. If you're giving it back, I think that's a different situation. But we talk about mental health a lot, right? And if we are already struggling with the amount of work that we put on young people, whether it's going to school and having a job, and it's usually part time because it's very anybody who has a full time job and is a full time student, you are a miracle worker in my mind, because that is quite the heavy workload. But if you're then taking away that little bit of money that they have left to go out and and have fun and be young kids, because at the same time we are talking about college students the majority of them are are very young adults who need fun in their lives and now you're taking that from them too along with their workload that to me just seems evil absolutely evil oh well i also think it's like a very

different case like if you're not like working towards something if you're working towards something then yeah like why why i think if you're putting a lot of work in what is it wait hold on

your voice just changed how did that just happen who's that there's two of us that's two of you guys so hard to get into the show listen real quick are you guys professional students are you guys going to stay in school until you guys get like 8 000 degrees i work right now i'm a

full-time engineer i work right now my parents helped me all the way through college and i still had a job i worked um at a restaurant during college and i worked really hard to the point that like my parents were like you need to have a little bit of fun um and so i kind of did both and i think they saw that like i was working very hard so they were willing to help me out

and not make me pay do they know you're with this guy named john no yeah they do okay they approve of him

they do okay do you know what's interesting is and i hate to say this because this is going to show my age but when i was when i was a kid we walked both ways up and out no but when i was a kid honestly most of my friends a lot of my friends turned out to be firefighters and cops because i grew up in an area that that was where it happened there the day they turned 18 it was don't let the door hit you in the ass the kids weren't going to college they were going to trades or they were going to the police academy or the fire academy, and a lot of them just had to be out of their house. And so I think that times are changing and they're different, but don't think that parents weren't hard back then.

No, but I think the cost of living is so different, though. Yeah, the cost of living is way different.

But when you're 18 years old and you're out on the streets, the cost of living is still the cost of living. It doesn't make a difference if it's the cost of living now or the cost of living then. But the cost of minimum wage is just way too low. Yeah. Well, listen here, Mr. Doctor Almost. You remember us when you're a guy with a Ph.D. What are you going to do with that Ph.D., honestly?

We don't know yet.

See? You're a professional student. I'm telling you. Am I right?

Or yes.

No, don't tell me. He's just trying to harp on you.
