[quote=Anonymous]My jaw dropped when I read OP’s post.  I had no idea there were people spending that much money.  We could afford it …. I just can’t see spending it.  
We don’t actually track how much my daughter spends.  She has some food issues so I am happy for her to spend as much as she wants on food — she usually get groceries at Target or bagels, so it’s pretty frugal.  She cuts her own hair and does her own nails by choice.  The wiggle room is probably around shopping — she’s not into designer stuff but has probably more clothes than she really needs and likes to shop and thrift with friends.  None of it is expensive but of course $50 here and there does add up but I’d be surprised if she spends $1500 a year on that stuff.  When she goes to concerts or buys expensive tech stuff she spends the money she earned at her summer job.  Well pay for things like bike repairs as she needs to bike to get to class.

I’d guess it averages out to a couple hundred a month but maybe it’s more than that with all the little random Amazon stuff like charging cables and tampons and laundry detergent.   [/quote]
