[quote=Anonymous]DC is on a modest meal plan and learned to cook as a sophomore. Meal plan is mostly for lunches on campus. DC gets rent + $300 for everything else. It is basically a straight wash over the 10 months (some months, utilities are more, others they are less). She understands I'm not going to fund dinner outs, shopping at the mall, or beer runs. She has become a great at checking the budget. Figure out what internet costs are, ask parents how electric usually runs. Estimate a fair budget for meals (e.g., are you going to fund sushi 3 times a week???). Throw in a bit for fun and maybe gas if you feel like it. I believe if she's going to have a car there (that I paid for and also pick up insurance), then she needs to pay for most of the gas. And there have been dozens of threads here and Money forum.[/quote]
