[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD kid living on campus with meal plan. We don’t give any allowance, credit card is for books, school fees, medical copays and emergencies only. Had a summer job and still has most of the money in own accounts. You’re giving way too much, OP. [/quote] +1 We have the same deal for our 2 kids. One is in an apartment so we give her $50 a week for groceries and will do the same for our son next year when he moves to an apartment. They’re expected to work summers and make that money last all year. If they aren’t careful, they need to get a job during the year. They have room, food, tuition and healthcare which is plenty. [/quote] My terp lives off campus and has no meal plan and we give them$300 per month for groceries. They learned to cook and love shopping at Trader Joe’s.[/quote]
