[quote=Anonymous]Realize the responses to this are self selecting. Every time this topic comes up, it is dominated by those who claim to give their kids no spending $$, even though that doesn’t comport with my experience IRL. (Also note that a lot of those “no $$” people will say “except for Amazon orders, clothes, toiletries, airplane tickets, etc”) My kid goes to school in a big city, he spends anywhere from $300-500 a month, on top of the dorm dining plan. That’s everything — books, toiletries, eating out, etc. He doesn’t do anything crazy — eating out tends to be Chipotle or the local bagel shop a couple times a week, and he mostly rides the subway (free for students) to get around. Yes, my kid did work over the summer, and that money went into the spend account, but it didn’t begin to cover these costs. Contrary to assertions here, it isn’t “easy” to clear $4,000 in a summer job. [/quote]
