[quote=Anonymous]I don't plan to give my daughter any money but we pay full tuition that includes a 21 meal per week plan. She worked two jobs this summer and has saved about $4K so she has a nice buffer, though she knows that she must buy her books and any other supplies. I told her that it would be good to get a work study job for 8-12 hours a week just so she doesn't burn through her hard earned summer cash and she agrees. I also think having a job and interacting with adults is a good thing, as pointed out above. I won't force my daughter to get a job right away if she's trying to settle in but in the long run I'm guessing she will. Meanwhile my mother-in-law mentioned that she planned to give my daughter a monthly allowance, which was news to me. I said sure, why not! As long as I don't need to give more money I'm fine with it!
