[quote=Anonymous]OP here. DD has a credit card on my account that she can use for "needs" (books, emergencies). She also has a debit card that links to her own checking account. We want her to get some practice living within a budget, though, so we don't want to just say, "charge everything to us and just be reasonable"— she has been doing that throughout high school. We want her to have the experience of thinking, "Okay, I have $X and I need to make that last all semester for discretionary expenses, how will I do that?" In other words: we want to put some money in her checking account for her discretionary expenses, and we are trying to decide how much (and whether we should provide a lump sum at the beginning of the semester, or an allowance each week or month). Has anyone done it this way?[/quote]
