[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money do your kids make from summer jobs?  Do they last all year.  I am trying to figure out how wages from a summer job over three months last an entire year.[/quote]
my kid made $15/hour this summer. That came out to be about $4500. Next summer he'll have an internship where he makes $25/hour. IF you are paying tuition, room, board, books, cell, insurance, that should be more than enough. [/quote]

Same - I’m one of the “none” posters. Mine was clearing $22ish per hour with tips last summer, she’s got lots of money. She worked hard and takes some pride in being able to live within her means now ( excluding the ridiculous cost of a private university that her parents pay for of course…we are grateful for the aid we get but it’s still a ton of money.) It truly never occurred to me to provide her with an allowance, and I’m certain she wouldn’t accept it.[/quote]
DP. this sounds about right. I'm not 100% sure how much dd made over the summer, I think she worked 45 or so hours a week at very normal summer jobs (i.e., not some fancy pants $$$ corporate internship...she lifeguarded and waitressed) and probably made $15ish/hour? She's never asked for us to send her money so it appears to be enough...[/quote]
