[quote=Anonymous]My folks gave me an allowance for food, books, room and board, clothes for job interviews, sports activities, travel home. Sundries - snacks, clothing, toiletries, entertainment, travel, all came out of money I earned over the summer (or saved from spending a little less than my budgeted books and food). We would talk about my budget at the beginning of the school summer so I had an idea of how much I would want to earn, and then in the fall, and mid-year to see how I was doing. Sometimes my folks would help out if I was sticking to the plan, but something came up - an extra trip to NY to see an art exhibit. (I was an art major). Or if I was home and happened to need a pair of jeans. Same as the other parent, bring me stuff from costco or target since there wasn't one nearby. It worked for us. And my folks didn't believe in me holding a job during the school year. But I always held 2 or more part time jobs over the summer. [/quote]
