[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 478830, member: 1514"] May I suggest a teen visa card for foreseeable future? I think you are going to be paying some of his essentials until he gets on his feet so I think this might be best. You can see online what he is buying online with some of them so I would make sure you get one that you can. Do not link it to your bank account but do get one that you can put money in online. I would also pay his rent yourself not out of this visa card because that would put too much money on this card at once. I would put very little money on this at a time. The bus pass cant be much. Put that much on and maybe enough for about 3 days of food. Check the account in 2 days and see what he spent it on. I would threaten him within an inch of his life about losing this card. I would also give him a wallet that has a chain to attach to his belt loops so he cant lose his wallet. That has happened to mine too many times...lol. He doesnt need more than 50 a week to eat if that. That is generous. That would get him food and toiletries. Do remember we all started out poor and eating ramen, mac and cheese, hot dogs, taters with cheese on top with bacon bit if we could afford them. We lived. Eggs. Pbj. Cereal. It builds character. My son was in the Marines at lived off ramen noodles, baked potatoes with broccoli and cheese, 3 for a dollar burritos, hot dogs on white bread with catsup, and on payday he splurged and got a 5 dollar sub at subway. This was when he was actually working 144 hours every 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
