[quote=Anonymous]I would give her whatever amount of money you are inclined to spend on her gift, and let her decide how to spend it. She can find a way to stretch it to cover all three things by cutting corners (especially since you apparently weren't going to pay for the whole car, just a few months of payment and insurance), or decide which is the greatest priority for her. Since she's graduating from college, she's probably 21 or 22. Given how you describe the issue, it kind of feels like you're still treating her like a child (and she's acting like a child by demanding gifts) rather than someone becoming an adult who needs to start learning to manage her financial life. I actually had to go back and read the thread again, because I thought you were talking about someone graduating from high school rather than college based on your description.[/quote]
