[quote=Anonymous]Unless it’s *a lot* of extra money, I’d wait to see how the first year actually plays out. His computer could break. He could join an activity that requires extra fees (e.g., I was on the debate team in college, so had to pay for 3-4 meals most weekends; a friend was on the Tai Kwon Do team that self-funded travel to tournaments). He could decide he wants to do an unpaid worthwhile internship in DC his freshman summer and the money could pay for housing. If it really just ends up being a slush fund, then rebudget for Sophomore year. For all you know, he had an agreement with his mom regarding how the money gets spent... As a child of a horrendous divorce, nothing was worse than discussing one parent’s financial assumptions/contributions with the other. (For instance, my mom gave me $$ to take cabs if I was alone at night instead of the subway, my dad thought that was ridiculous. Sooo not worth fighting about.[/quote]
