[quote=Anonymous] I'm probably more modest income than some in this thread, and ds was the first in immediate family to go to 4 year college. So, he worked summers and that money went towards tuition. During school, he had an on campus job and I sent $100/mo and my parents sent $50 (this was a decade ago). I didn't want him to work too many hours the first year as he got used to college so the limited hours of the campus job was good. After freshman year, he did work more (in things related to his field) so I didn't send $ but still paid for occasional things (his asthma meds, cell phone since he was on my plan, winter coat since it was really cold there, gas money to drive home for holidays). My parents still sent the $50 mo though which was so sweet! He was at a private school though and had some stories about the spending of some of the kids, like the sons of Saudi princes and tech millionaires![/quote]
