whats 11 yrs?

assuming that you start supporting ur parents when they are at the age of 60, and using our garmen estimate of ppl living to 85, you would still end up paying for around 25 yrs.

when do you guys stop taking pocket money from your parents? when do your parents stop giving you pocket money?

im thinking next year, after jc? cos by then, if i enter u, school hours should be more flexible so i can afford to work and study, and earn my own keep

even now, i feel bad asking for more money from my parents because i come from a middle income family and i know they slog hard to put bread on the table.

anyway, 150 a month, is it a lot? is it too little? for an 18 year old. inclusive of food, notes and everything else. excluding transport

That is too..I mean, its below average and I think its ok if it suits your lifestyle as a student...Theres nothing wrong with taking money from mummy and daddy.

who would refuse free money

sinicker SG

even in NS drawing a monthly allowance of $350-500 in the two years, my mom still gives me pocket money from time to time, like $20 in a fortnight just to help tide over with expenditures..

depending on what you take in uni, some have 2-day work week while some are clearly 5-day, 8am-5pm work week.... see what you wanna work as lor..

i'll stop when i get my first job?

guaiboiboi SG

take doesn't mean must spend all the money

take also doesn't mean you cannot do part time work to earn extra income if you want to

i like your answer. can save mah...

tys SG

i think it depends on case to case basis ba... if u wan to be independent then you can refuse pocket money...

And also depends on family fianacial situation? if ur family is well-to-do, i think ur parent will still give you even if your work part-time.
