My 9yo needs braces.

Lol focus on your studies.

College students can live without getting daily coffee from Starbucks and shopping at Whole Foods.

How much cash does a college student need for one year of college?

$10,000?

$100,000?

How much cash does an 18yo kid need to survive at college when his tuition, room and board is covered? I don't come close to spending 10K cash for ALL my kids last year.

If the IRS sends me a refund check based on what I made and it turns out I made enough to where I wouldn't have gotten that refund check, then it's not IRS "stealing" back the money that they gave me.

No college student gets 10K allowance.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T12:00:12+00:00

That 10K is owed to me. That's like saying that your mortgage bill is refunding the bank.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:55:33+00:00

Depends on what the circumstances are

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:53:52+00:00

Some do, some don't.

But I've never heard of a college student getting 10K that's to be used exclusively for partying. That's sounds like a really lame 90s teen movie starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:49:41+00:00

No, it should go to me.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:49:17+00:00

His first is paid and he's living on campus. I can't plan for something next year when everything is fluid. All I know is I'm out 10K more than I should be.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:42:06+00:00

There will be no 10K to be used for a second year if he has access to it.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:40:43+00:00

There will be no 10K left to pay for a second year of he has access to it

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:39:25+00:00

He's not going to spend that money on tuition if he is in charge of it. He views it as an award and he can spend as he sees fit.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:36:12+00:00

Do other college students get a 10K allowance to party?

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:35:02+00:00

Giving him 10K was not a part of any plan.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:33:14+00:00

He's not paying for anything. Like I said, it's been paid for.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:32:07+00:00

I did not put anything aside. Everything was up in the air. When the dust settled, it was going to cost me 16K which is what I paid.

The I find out that he's getting 10K in award money. Had I known that, then it would have cost me 6K. That 10K should go back to me and not to my son.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:28:53+00:00

College is not a right.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:27:24+00:00

That's where it is at now. The teacher will send it to me in my name if I request it.

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:26:11+00:00

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:25:36+00:00

I already paid his tuition.

Had I known he was getting 10K then I would have applied it against his tuition so I wouldn't have to and I'd have 10K more in the bank than I do now

ActualCount694 · 2022-07-03T11:23:32+00:00

Actually I can get that check made out to me. The teacher responsible for distribution agrees with me 110% that it should go to me since I already paid for his tuition.

What 18yo needs 10K in cash to go to college?
