[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- your kid needs to get a job to earn their own spending money. They are adults. They don’t need an allowance. [/quote] That's a valid approach! It's not for us, but I wouldn't disparage you for going that direction. I want my kid to study hard and enjoy themself. They worked for their pocket money through HS, coaching and babysitting. They will work this summer in retail. Giving a moderate allowance in college is how I demonstrate that I support their education and [i]transition[/i] into adulthood. [/quote] This!! We can afford it, so we want our kid to focus on their education and research. They don't need to be getting paid $7/hr to work at the library or as a desk receptionist in their dorm. We would rather they be focused on studying and finding internships, etc. However, if they are not doing well academically, we would not continue to fund all the fun stuff [/quote]
