yes he will have to pay utilities etc. He can afford it but won’t be able to save much. The idea is he does this for a year, sitting on the pile of $ he saved living at home for a year and a half, and then buy something that he can in turn have buddies pay him rent to assist in paying the mortgage. we thought he should do that now, but he doesn’t feel ready for the responsibility of ownership at this point.
Is he even 20 yet? I respect that call on his part, plus he gets to see how trustworthy the boys are when it really counts.
