[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid: I want $150 pjs. Me: great, put them on your birthday wish list [/quote] Same. Usually I’d say something like, if you still want them by your birthday, add it to the list. I was shocked to read about the $150 a month clothing allowance. I can’t imagine giving my kid $1800 a year for clothes. [/quote] That's because $180/month (it was $150 + $30 "regular" allowance) is a shocking amount of money to hand to a 12-year-old every month. WTF. Anyway, this is the approach I always used too: put it on your birthdaychristmas list.[/quote] It sounds crazy to me too. $100/mo is what I give my college kid for spending cash. I pay for her meal plan and for her tuition, fees, and books. That money is for coffees, dinner, Uber, laundry, makeup, clothes, etc. if she wants more, she can work over the summers and on campus. Just some perspective of how large that sum is. [/quote]
