[quote=Anonymous]Credit card and checking account are musts. We told our children ahead of time that they were responsible for their pin/fun money. They are not big spenders and the older one spent about $1k his freshman year the younger one closer to $750. This was mainly one meal off campus a week and incidentals. Each had the full meal plan. IMO, this helped them figure out budgeting and monitoring spending. They both ended up working at Safeway for the summers after freshman year and hated it. There is great value in the summer crappy job and it gave the older one incentive to find a paying internship for the next summer. The younger one is just now headed for his sophomore year. [/quote]
