People also ask, how much should a college student spend per month?
Since many college students work and earn an average of $195 per week or $10,000 if working part-time year-round, they should not need any help with "spending money."
Sample Budget.
| Budget Category | |
|---|---|
| Food (assuming that most meals are eaten on campus) | $3,500- $7,500 |
| Gas/Car Insurance | $1,000-$5,000 |
| Cell Phone | $150-$800 |
Likewise, how much do you spend on Christmas per child? And that all adds up. Moms and dads spent $422 per kid on average last year, with a third dropping $500 on each child aged 8 to 14, according to T. Rowe Price's Parents, Kids & Money Survey.

How much does the average family of 4 spend on Christmas?
ANSWER: The average last year was around $800. The average household income was around $50,000. If you make $25,000, then you would be half of average, and you should have as your guideline for your whole Christmas budget about half of the average, or about $400.
