[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in college right now. They both have jobs during the summer and work if they can during the school year. I occasionally may give them money but they are responsible for the majority of their expenses. The daughter who has an apartment and no meal plan spends $500 a month on food, gas, and any other expenses. I just can't see why a student who lives on campus and doesn't have a job (therefore does not need much for gas) and has a meal plan, would need $400 a month. Giving kids so much keeps them at a standard of living they have a hard time affording when they get out of college and really on their own. I agree that they need to focus on school but they can also see fewer movies and a freshman shouldn't be buying beer anyway (I know I'll get jumped on for this, but teach your kids what is right and expect them to do it).
