Introduction Parents of first-year college students not only have to worry about their children’s academic problems, but also about life matters. Legally speaking, as long as they are over 18 years old, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they can be considered adults.

Preface

Parents of first-year college freshmen not only have to worry about their children's academic problems, but also worry about life matters. Legally speaking, as long as they are over 18 years old, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they can be considered adults.

However, in the eyes of parents, college students are students, children, and adults who are not financially independent. As parents, they have to take care of the living expenses for the four years of college.

Here comes the question:

How much living expenses should be paid each month for the children to go to college?

Each university is in a different city, the university is different, the expenses for study and life are different, and everyone’s family economic conditions are also different.

Some college students have less than 1,000 yuan per month for living expenses, which is still not enough to spend.

Some college students have 3,000-5,000 yuan per month, which is not enough.

Living expenses other than study expenses:

There is not much difference between boys and girls in study expenses, they are almost the same.

However, the expenditure on living expenses is larger.

Let’s take a look at the most basic aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation:

In spring, summer, autumn and winter all year round, buying clothes and changing shoes every three months will cost 450 yuan, which is an average of 150 yuan per month. , As long as you buy some clothes and shoes of better quality, you can wear them for two years without any problem. Therefore, this is an average number. I personally agree. Try to buy better quality clothes.

Food is mainly in the school cafeteria (breakfast and lunch cost about 500 yuan per month), and I have meals outside with my classmates once or twice a month, which costs 200.

Housing is charged on a semester basis, 1,200 yuan per semester, on average 200 yuan per month

Transportation Generally, 100 yuan is enough to travel by bus or subway.

also has expenses for Internet fees, mobile phone bills, daily necessities, etc., which is about 500 yuan/month.

Girls spend a lot of money on cosmetics. Boys also spend a lot of money on making friends and going out. You need to prepare at least 500 yuan per month for this item.

Therefore, the monthly living expenses of about 1,700 yuan are enough for most college students.

However, for college students who have a mine at home and have good family conditions, they can give a little more depending on the situation. However, it is best not to develop the habit of spending money lavishly during college.

Each person’s specific consumption situation:

Some people like to buy, buy, buy, and have formed a habit that is difficult to change.

But some people are different. They buy what they should buy and never spend a penny on what they shouldn’t buy. Everyone's family economic conditions are different. Many families have two or more children going to college, and the expenditure on their children's education has doubled, making it even more important to live within their means. It is not easy to make money as a parent, so it is better to be frugal.

My family is relatively affluent, so my consumption concept is naturally different. For parents, 3,000 to 5,000 yuan a month is not a lot for their children’s living expenses.

If you don’t have money at home, you have to take it easy. You may not be able to spend less than 1,000 yuan per month on three meals a day in the university campus cafeteria.

College students must establish a correct concept of consumption:

As the saying goes: If you are not a family, you don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive .

The main task of college students is to study, and it is difficult to change the habit of spending money lavishly.

Only capitalists will say that money is the easiest thing in the world. For most people, these are all lies. It is not easy for most people to make money. In fact, most capitalists The money earned is essentially the hard-earned money of working people.

When you graduate from college, go out into the society, and find a job, you will know: No matter it is white-collar, gold-collar, or blue-collar, everyone is an ordinary person, and it is not easy to make money to support a family.

Summary:

The living expenses of college students, no matter how much, as long as they are enough.Don't compare with others, don't compare with others who wears famous brands, have a party every weekend, use the latest version of Apple mobile phone, whose laptop is apple , I am very envious in my heart, and I also want to have it.

As a last resort, don't work part-time outside the campus. If your family's financial situation is really difficult, find a way to apply for a scholarship.

The most important thing is not to borrow money for consumption, not to use credit cards to make purchases in advance, and not to take out campus loans.

There are work-study opportunities in universities. As long as you apply, they are generally very easy to get.

If you are really short of money, there is another most formal way: put your time on studying, achieve excellent academic results, and apply for scholarships with excellent academic results. It feels really good to gain both fame and fortune.

As a parent of a college freshman, how much living expenses do you think you should give your child each month?
