[quote=Anonymous]We give our DS $150/month. It breaks down like this per month: ~$15 for haircut... Haircut every 6 weeks ($20 per 6 weeks or $40 per three months/3 = $14/month average) ~$25 for laundry machines... 2 loads a week, wash and dry ~$80 for 1 meal out a week with friends @ $20 per ~$30 for small incidentals (bottles of water, snacks for his room) I have no doubt some portion goes to party cover charges and such, but I don't think I'm giving him a ton of flex for that with this amount. My DS says some friends parents give a lot more, some give less. I found with DD (older) that if we gave it to her in a lump sum she never made it through the semester, so DS is getting monthly deposits. [/quote]
