My son would be advised that he could petition to be adopted by one of those kind families. Having put myself through college with no outside help I don't have much sympathy.

A set monthly budget is an excellent idea, the dollar amount of course depends on the individual family. It's amazing how much money a kid can blow through if given the chance, and it's also amazing on how little they can live on if forced to learn how to budget.
