[quote=Anonymous]My DD is doing well as a freshman at a selective college. She does not have a job and we are paying her full tuition, including room and board. My husband and I disagree slightly about how much money to give her at Christmas. This Gen Z cohort loves their eating out nonsense, but it’s expensive. She also likes expensive skin care products and always wants new clothes. I have tried to teach her to be anti-consumerist, but it didn’t work well. She has earned income the past two summers and we expect her to work again this summer. She has $7k to her name from work and gifts and spends about $150-175 a month on the dumb coffee and clothes that she doesn’t need. Plus gifts to friends and her boyfriend occasionally. I don’t want to make it too easy for her but I also don’t want her to be the odd-man out. Any thoughts from parents in similar circumstances? She is our only child and we have HHI of $375k. [/quote]
