[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a kid spend only 500 per month. Do they never get chipotle or take an uber or go 
To cvs for toiletries? Thats how much I spent in college in the early 90’s [/quote]

This!

My college was in a major city though, so everyone liked to go out to restaurants, clubs, etc.  I was broke with $100/week.[/quote]

Nobody answers a thread like this except people who want to flex on how little they spend. [/quote]
Well, my kid is pretty frugal. They cook for themselves; shops mostly at Aldis. They have splurged a bit on clothes, but that was with their own money they made from internships.  They go out, but I don't think the spend *that* much money.

They currently have $19K in their checking account.  I have $11K.  LOL   One time I forgot to transfer money into my checking account to pay a bill, and I said to DC I may have to borrow money from them.

I do have a feeling, though, that my younger one will spend a lot more. DC#2 is less frugal.  I have been telling DC since the beginning of junior year in HS when they got a job that they *really* need to be saving money for spending money in college.  Seems to be falling on deaf ears.  DC#1 told me that DC#2 won't "get it" until they get to college.[/quote]
