[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the replies here are a self-selecting group. Everyone I know gives their kids spending $$, both when I was in college and now. And I grew up middle class (real middle class, not DCUM middle class). We had summer jobs, but it was not intended to cover all of our spending money at school. It is amusing to see all of the “I’ll pay $80k a year for school, but I’m not going to give my kid $100 a month for pizza” types on here. [/quote] You and your friends and most of DCUM (including me) are significantly wealthier than the average family.[/quote] My mom was a single mom making ~35,000 a year. I went to college on 100% financial aid but she still gave me 100/month spending money back in 2000 (and everyone else in my peer group got significantly more than that). I definitely think the posters here are a bunch of self righteous cheap skates.[/quote]
