[quote=Anonymous]Starting in 8th grade, I babysat a lot. So starting then I started paying for all my clothes, makeup, shampoo (though my mom did pay for me to get my hair cut at a nice salon, and also paid for me to get my eyebrows waxed) and any outings with my friends. College years--we had a rocky relationship. Some years I was completely on my own, other years they paid for my tuition and gave me a monthly amount that covered about 2/3 of my rent. I had to come up with the rest of the rent money, utilities, food, car payment and gas (though they paid car insurance), plus all the other stuff I had been paying for since junior high. I got married right out of college (age 23-it took me an extra year to graduate since I had to work to cover my basic living expenses) and of course after that, my parents didn't give me (and my husband) any money at all.[/quote]
