My brother Taylor is living a home with my parents while he saves some money to buy a house.

• He decided to move in about 6 months ago.

I am glad that he decided to do this because it will allow him to save the most money. My parents have not asked him to pay rent, in fact, when he offered, they said no. This means he has been saving so much money over the last few months. Taylor does contribute to the house in other ways though. For instance, he buys groceries all the time and he takes care of all the yard work for our dad. That is a huge help especially because our dad is getting older. Anyway, Taylors room is located upstairs over the garage and though it is the largest room on the top level, it does have one minor issue. It is not fully insulated which means it gets pretty cold in the Winter months. He is the only person who sleeps upstairs because my parents’ room is on the bottom floor. Thankfully, they have two separate HVAC units with separate controls. This means that my brother can control the unit upstairs, but he has been very responsible about it. Instead of turning on the unit, he decided to get a space heater for his room. I thought this was a great idea because the other two rooms on the top level are empty. So the only room that requires heat would be his. This will help to save some money on the energy bill, and I am so glad that my brother is being so responsible.
