I found it depends on their interests/hobbies, the free offerings at the schoo, and also on how often they’re coming home to shop at MomMart! My D comes home around once a month and we usually restock her with cereal bars, juice, water, meds, soap, etc. before she goes back. Her school has tons of free and very low cost stuff to do and there’s no charge for laundry either. So, her need for spending money is pretty much limited to skating fees and dinners/entertainment off campus. I don’t think she spent anything close to $100 a month…maybe $10/week unless she was buying clothes or jewelry (a blessedly rare event). They do seem to spend a lot less when they’re spending their own money!
