Why do college students spend money like water now, and how should parents control it?
After entering the university, college students have gained more freedom than before, and have some control over the expenditure of money. In addition, there is indeed a lot of expenses during college, so in the eyes of many parents, children spend more and more money after entering college.

Before going to college, parents didn't give their children much living expenses, because children usually didn't have many opportunities and occasions to spend a lot of money, and everyone's mind was spent on learning, so they didn't spend much money. Parents also arranged their children's daily necessities and daily clothes. But entering a university is different. Universities are generally far away from home, children are adults and independent, and many things have to be decided by themselves, and parents give much more living expenses than before. So when I first entered the university, my parents' constraints were less, and the control of money fell into my own hands. Children usually have a kind? Nouveau riche? Mentality, so I began to blindly follow the trend of consumption, leading to spending money like water.

In addition, there are many places where college students need money. Monthly telephone charges, internet access fees, daily necessities, etc. They are all fixed expenses. Computers, mobile phones and other hardware facilities are basically equipped. School meals are actually not cheap. Occasionally, when I get tired of eating, I have to order takeout, and sometimes I have to go out with my friends. In addition, some people have been in love, and every date costs a lot of money. Watching movies, buying gifts, eating and shopping usually cost money. Nowadays, prices are soaring.

However, some students are troubled by vanity and spend more money than they can actually afford. Parents can try to let their children do some part-time jobs, understand the hardships of parents making money, and thus consciously reduce expenses. In addition, some people have poor self-control ability, and the living expenses given by their parents at the beginning of the month may be used up in a few days. In this case, parents can shorten the period of giving their children living expenses from 1 month to Monday, which can control the speed of spending money to some extent.
