[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high stats college senior who also has a demanding EC has managed to save $4k from working the last two summers and school heads.

Your DD sounds spoiled and entitled and you sound enabling. $300 is incredibly generous and she should thank her lucky stars. And definitely tell her she must have a full time job this summer.[/quote]

OP here. I'm well aware I've made mistakes. You are right in your assessment, but I really appreciate you pointing it out in case I was not.  :roll: I'd say she's spoiled, but not entitled, if you can make sense of that at all. There are actually some factors that contributed to the situation that I prefer not to share for fear of outing myself/my daughter. These impact why I tend to be lenient when it comes to opportunities to be social and make new friends.

I am not bailing her out. When she runs out of $, she runs out, I know she can still eat, so I'm okay with that. It's just that it's been a few months and I would have expected her to figure out the balance by now and not run out mid-month.

She does plan to work this summer and I am hopeful she might during winter break also, but that is a little trickier to secure of course. She will definitely be babysitting for neighbors so I hope that will help give her a little extra to start the new semester with.

Congrats to your high-stats college senior. May they have continued success. [/quote]
