This boy and my daughter are college students at the same level. I said to listen to her, and she told me many interesting stories about her classmates' pocket money.
Xiao Hao, who learned to drive together, gave her living expenses every week during her college years. Sometimes, for emergencies, he doesn't even have emergency money in his hand. During the holiday, we will go to the second year of high school and arrive at the test center one day in advance. Xiao Hao paid the round-trip fare and accommodation, and there were four yuan left in WeChat change. Everyone invited him to dinner, and he stayed in the hotel on the grounds that he was not hungry. The daughter understood his predicament and went back to the hotel after dinner to buy him food. My daughter said that he would have pocket money next Monday.
School is about to start. How much is the living expenses of college students? How to give it?
The monthly living expenses of college students can be divided into several grades.
600- 1000, some children in poor areas, with low family income, can eat enough according to this standard, but they can't say how good they eat.
1000-2000, there should be more students in this class. Of course, it should also be divided into the area where the school is located. Schools in third-and fourth-tier cities can buy some out-of-season clothes besides meals.
From 2000 to 3000, this living standard is relatively rich, and some pocket money can be controlled at will. My daughter went to college for two years. I calculated it for her, and the average score was more than 2,000 points, less than 3,000 yuan.
No matter how high-end, some students can't spend 5 thousand a month, and some families give it hundreds of thousands of cards. After all, this kind is a minority, so I won't say much.
How to pay the living expenses depends on the specific situation. I give it to them all semester. Because she will arrange her pocket money reasonably and never waste it. For children living away from home for the first time, they may not be able to manage their money well. Parents can give it to their children once a month to help them control.
For children with poor self-control, some money in their hands will be squandered, and it doesn't hurt to give it once a week or two.
You can also give your child pocket money from time to time and arrange it according to your family situation.
As for whether to give college students pocket money during holidays, we can only make flexible arrangements. If he goes to work, it will be better to earn money by himself. If there is no income, parents can't ignore it when it comes to money.
Now that living conditions are good, parents don't want their children to suffer hardships outside. Generally, they give more living expenses, but not too much, so as not to cause their children's vanity and comparison psychology. Personal opinion, for reference only.
