[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents used to give me $100 a week once i went to hs. That primarily paid for lunch, snacks, dinners with friends, any misc thing i wanted to buy. Honestly it doesnt leave a lot over because a chipotle meal is like $14.[/quote]

That’s insane. Are you eating every meal out of the house? $100 week is nuts. [/quote]

$400 a month... your parents were very comfortable.  That's not happening in our house.[/quote]

I am the poster. Lunch wasn't provided at my HS. After 5 lunches, maybe 2-3 afterschool snacks (im talking fries at mcdonalds with my friends), and then hanging out in the weekend, there was nothing left. I think i skipped lunch once or twice a week because i KNEW i wanted to go to the movie theater on the weekend, and a movie ticket was 2 lunches, or I really wanted a new tshirt and thats 2 lunches right there. I absolutely still got a part time job to supplement my allowance AND i learned to value every dollar. [/quote]

What year was this?  Which metro region?  If you'd taken lunch from home would your parents have deducted the cost from your $100 per week?  That's just a lot. 
 Plus you had a part time job?  I hope you saved a lot.[/quote]
