[quote=Anonymous]My parents gave me no allowance when I was in college, though they paid for all of my tuition and for housing and a campus meal plan. Unfortunately, I also failed to ask for money for things like off-campus meals, etc., until my junior year, by which point I had spent most of the relatively meager savings I had going into college. After that, they started sending me money each month to cover expenses besides the ones we had already anticipated. I probably should have asked for it earlier. Will try not to make the same mistake with my kids, but I also don't know that I need to be subsidizing their entertainment budgets -- food, obviously, yes, but random nights out? Why?[/quote]
