Not gonna sugar coat: what allowance is reasonable?

<p>@notmeantforivy: Jeez, what’s your problem? Are you mad that I didn’t assume the OP’s parents were filthy rich?</p>

<p>I made my opinion and moved on with my life. Calm down and get over yourself. Most people’s parents don’t have $800 or $1600 a month (remember that there are 1, not 2 kids) to give to their kid when they go to college…mine certainly don’t.</p>
