[quote=Anonymous]I did not give my kid an allowance. Rather, she is responsible, so I made sure she had a debit card (for cash withdrawals--though they rarely use cash) and a credit card (on my account). She would use them for buying rare things for her room or if she ran out of toiletries or "emergency food" (for her room. Mostly she ate from the dining hall). Oh yeah, and an occasional trip to Sheets with her friends. The point is she never abused these resources. If she was buying a "want" (vs a need), she would reimburse me for the cost (from her savings when she came home). She attended a rural school, lived in a dorm all 4 years, and did little off campus. It worked out for us.[/quote]
