<p>We will be sending S2 (freshman) a monthly allowance. I’m guessing around $200. Due to unforeseen circumstances, he has not been employed for the last month and and had no savings ( took every cent of his paychecks to keep gas in his 8 cylinder Ford truck and fund his trips to Wendy’s with friends). He will be taking his truck to college so the gas will have to come from his allowance.<br>
He had a job continously through high sch. while playing a varsity sport. He was responsible for his truck needs and funding his own entertainment and “non-need” purchases. We did not expect him to save money for college expense. We don’t expect him to get a job the first semester but maybe in the spring if all goes well. He is going to a non-flagship instate public u. where costs are very low compared to many.</p>
