how much is your ALLOWANCE in school?

$12.00 a week is enough for me. My school is close to home. My older sister give me gas money for the car. I wish I have more allowance so I can buy the things that I want but I'm contented with what they give me now.

An average poor Filipino can live for as low as $1 a day but most of them spend higher up to $3 to 5/day. I study in a school faraway from home so I stay in a dorm and eat in the canteen (paid in monthly basis). My allowance is $6 a week (meals and transportation not included). It suffices my needs and it's already quite big.

My Dear friend iam not anymore in school.To say frankly i get enough money to fill my needs.

When I used to go to school, I had about USD 15/week as allowance during my senior high school year. Back then, it used to buy a lot of stuff. During college, I had the capacity to earn even while studying so I did have enough too.

Cutting all my weekly expensive, I get $100 a week. So I'm pretty much poor. It's hard.
