<p>We gave our DS $30 per week, he also held a job on campus but didn’t earn too much through that because there weren’t too many hours available to work. We didn’t run into any problems until spring senior year when he ran out of money due to bank fees and was not able to go with his friends to dinners/nights out because they were going out a lot more and I assume had more resources to do so. He was pretty disappointed to be left back at the dorm alone one night but he does realize some people just have a lot more money and he doesn’t expect to be able to keep up with them.</p>
<p>We made it work by taking the money out of our weekly grocery budget since we could buy less without another person at home.</p>
