[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]really struggling with what is best. DC goes to school in an expensive city, has a required meal plan[b] (food is bad)[/b], no income (had a summer job but those funds were used up quickly), looking for a part time job now (we had reasons for not allowing a job while in school til now), gets $300 a month allowance and a has a credit card & Uber account attached to his bank account - credit card is set to automatic payments and its not working out very well since he is spending more than he has. For those who give their kids a credit card, do you set a strict limit? Is it attached to your bank account or theirs? What about Uber accounts for city kids? I need some guidance without judgement please. Thank you [/quote]

actually, irrelevant for a student.  There are many ways of getting around a "bad" (is there really such a thing?) food plan - like go to the salad bar, order a burger from campus outlet, supplement with ramen noodles in the room.  Get a grip.  you give nothing but excuses.

$300 is GENEROUS.

yes they need a part-time job - stop the excues

OMG he has a CC and uber account!

My UVA kid had nothing. nothing.  no car.  no car insurance. our credit card which he used only for groceries.  He and his 3 roommates cooked together.  [/quote]
