[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No allowance makes you grow up?  If only it was that simple. What a bunch of self serving BS.  There are rich assholes and poor assholes.  There are hard working wealthy people and slackers who are wealthy too.  Yes giving your kid a Ferrari and unlimited spending money is probably not a good idea but either is "figure it out on your own" and see you at Christmas.  A reasonable allowance that let's you focus on good grades will not sap all of your will to succeed any more than having no money will give you the drive to become a millionaire.  If it worked that way there would be no poverty as every poor college kid would turn out to be a millionaire.[/quote]
Of course you're right. This thread clearly got away from the typical (and useful) "College Discussion" people.  Once this happens, it's fairly useless for people looking for information and becomes "This is how it happened to me so it's the best way for everyone regardless of any facts. What? No, I don't have a kid in college. But I know a college kid/I hire college kids/I went to college/I'll have a college kid/I live near a college."  [/quote]

LOL! Exactly! A post seeking practical advice turns into the usual pissing match. No one cares about your experiences or those of who you know. I asked what's a reasonable allowance because clearly I plan to give DC one. So amounts would've been useful. The debate about to give or not to give is MOOT.[/quote]
