[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad paid for my college and spending money.  I worked in the summer but not at school. Grad School I was on my own. Guess what, I have made a ton of money in business since graduating and never worked flipping burgers in college.  I am not putting down working in college I am just not glamorizing it either.  I think $400 a month seems reasonable for allowance for clothes, gas, food, beer etc.  [/quote]

My mom and dad did the same thing for me down to working in the summer but not during the school year (as a matter of fact working during the school year was forbidden) and then paying for my own grad school. The expectation was that I receive A's. I also never flipped burgers and have made a ton of money since graduation. Enough to semi-retire at a young age in fact. So now I volunteer and consult part-time. So for all of you who think you have the only formula for success...don't pass that attitude on to your children. They won't be very successful if they only see the world in black and white, know-it-all, judgmental terms.[/quote]
