A MUM has revealed that people are always left “horrified” after she tells them she plans on charging her kids rent. Catalina Torrez revealed that she doesn’t even need the cash, but she thinks it’ll teach them good life skills. On her @catalinatrez account, she wrote: “When I tell other parents I 100% plan on making my kids pay ‘rent’ once they have their teenage jobs even if we don’t actually need their $ contribution.
” The audio over the top of the clip was Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, with the lyrics “all eyes on me, horrified looks from everyone in the room.” Catalina added: “Who wants to hear my theory on this? “It's actually not as mean as it sounds lol.” She explained how she was going to save the rent she was going to charge (around £150) to give back to them when they move out.
If they started for a few years as a teenager, she could have received around £5,638 from them, which she would set aside. Catalina said: “It’s a little cushion for them to start if they are moving out into their first apartment, to furnish it or to help with a deposit. “Who wouldn't have wanted a secret stash of money when they first moved out? “Not only will they have the money they will have a little bit more financial consciousness, they will be used to having to budget for this and out.
” In the comments Catalina explained that charging rent will teach her kids “financial obligation.” She said: “I wish my parents had done this for me.” Her vi.
