My daughter gets $30 a week deposited into her account. We got her a debit card and she can spend or save that money. She knows when to spend and what to save it for (she loves trips to the Asian market and stocks up on seaweed, pocki, etc). She also works as a babysitter for some teachers …and that has proven to be very lucrative for her. She will tell me that she doesn’t need me to deposit the $30 because she worked that weekend. Her school has lots of trips that she doesn’t spend money on but when they go to town…she hits up Starbucks and for a treat…land will order in pizza to the dorm.
