Spending money is on my son. He uses money from his summer job. If he runs out, I guess it's time to get another job. I pay for tuition, room/board, and fees. He pays for books.

We're pretty much the same. Each kid has an AmEx and a Visa that they can use for things they buy in person. On Amazon or other online vendors they just use our account and choose one of our credit cards. Their checking / debit card accounts pull automatically from our master account when they go lower than $250.

$0
They had summer jobs and can use that for spending money. We pay tuition, books, housing. They have a credit card from our account and we say they can (each) spend up to $300/month for food, but they never even spend close to that. They are also on our health insurance and cell phone plan.

None--for everyday spending, he uses his earnings from his summer job. He'll be working over xmas break to boost his bank account.

My 14 yr old at boarding school get $100/month. This is enough to cover the school outings to target, the movies, or grabbing food with a friend.
