[quote=Anonymous]You need to be honest with her. Leave the BF out of it, but say the cost each month is just too much. Tell her she needs to find a PT job and starting on X date she needs to pay for parking utilities, whatever, and that next year she needs to find a cheaper place as you only will be spending X on rent. She can live with more people and share one bathroom. There is no reason she needs a 2 bed/2 bath. You can tell her if she wants to pay for a fancier place she needs to get a job. She needs to learn about budgeting before she graduates! I have younger cousins who just graduated college and they know nothing because their parents paid for EVERYTHING and they are living way beyond their means after they graduated. I lived in a cramped and not great 4 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in Boston when I was an undergrad. I paid the rent myself. It was a learning experience. [/quote]
