My only suggestion would be to make sure that he knows it is temporary. My only problem wth him not making a monetary contribution is that it doesn't prepare him for when he will be paying all of his own bills. I think it's great that he at least helps out around the house, but eventually he should take on some monetary responsibilities so that he can start developing a more mature monthly budget.

His dad and I are totally on board with this move, as it has given him some time to come up with a plan before jumping into a day to day struggle with bills. We live in a high cost of living area (his rent was $1500 month while in school) and we think it is a smart idea to save for a home purchase and stay out of credit card debt for as long as possible, if not forever. He has not contributed financially to the household, however, he has taken on the duties of grilling dinner, rides for the younger kids who don't drive, and yard work. To us, this is more valuable than a monetary contribution. An extra bonus is we get to spend time with him! My child moved home following his graduation in May.
