[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising freshman is stressed because she also isn’t getting many hours at her summer job, and she keeps reading warnings that she will blow through money at college. She doesn’t really understand what that looks like.

I anticipate she’ll spend money on:
Halloween costume 
Holiday decor for room/dorm door
Little gifts/birthday cards for friends
Some off-campus food 
Starbucks 
Ubers to get back to campus at night (city school)
School merch, especially for attending games

We bought her a football/basketball ticket package, and we anticipate covering all food and Ubers (we want her to be safe in the city). We’re thinking we give her some additional money, but really not sure how much.

What ever happened to personal responsibility and teaching work ethic to your kid? These are the same parents who will fund their kids lifestyle post-grad as well.

Halloween is on a Thursday this year so you’re gonna need three costumes. Lol [/quote]
