<p>This is a good thread 'coz I’m having problems with my family over this issue
I’m an international student living in an apartment, and I get $500 a month. My sister is in MBA program and she gets $1000 a month, not including rent.
I’ve been telling my father that she doesn’t need $1000 a month and how unfair it is that we get different allowances, but what the heck, he’s willing to pay a thousand for her.
so i guess $500 is considered a lot…and usually I spend about $400 on grocery+food and I save $100 every month in my bank acct. I’ve been saving a lot since I was young so I have over 10K in my acct. =P</p>
