[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD lives off campus this year. We pay tuition, rent and books. She has a job and pays for all other expenses, including food. Last year we gave her $250/month.[/quote]

That's funny.  When I was in college, my parents paid tuition, rent and food.  I had to pay for all other expenses including books.  And to pay for tuition, my dad opened a joint checking account with his and my name on it.  He would deposit the tuition money the week before registration and I would pay the tuition.  They wanted me to understand how much they were spending on my education so that I would have a better understanding of the consequences.  I think it helped me be more responsible in school.  That's also how they would get my monthly money to me.  Dad would deposit money, tell me how much and I would write a check from the joint account to my personal account.

I had an allowance through junior high.  I had jobs in high school and college.  We'll probably do the same with our kids.[/quote]
