My daughter goes to college in Guangzhou. Is it enough to give her 800 yuan a month for living expenses?

It is definitely not enough.

I am now a sophomore in Guangzhou, and I have probably reviewed the expenses of my freshman year. Basically, it can be said with certainty that 800 yuan is not enough to eat.

Let's calculate the cost of eating.

Breakfast is about 5-7 yuan, and the median is 6 yuan.

Chinese food is about 15-20, and the median is 17.5 yuan.

It takes 30 days a month, so the cost of eating is 1230 yuan, which exceeds that of 800 yuan.

Normal dietary expenses

Maybe you will think that the price of eating I said is too high, but in fact it is only the price of eating in the canteen. If you order takeout, it will be more expensive.

The approximate price of rice takeout

About the price of fried rice takeout

Roughly the price of mala Tang takeaway.

So 1230 yuan just wants to ensure normal eating.

In addition to eating, the necessary expenses include telephone, electricity and water.

It's hot in Guangzhou, so the air conditioner should be turned on most of the year. Electricity is generally shared equally in the dormitory. 50 yuan per person per month, and the water fee is about 20-50%. Because of the epidemic, you often need to take online classes, so you need to get a phone card with enough traffic, and the phone bill of the card that meets the demand should be at least 50% a month.

These necessary expenses add up to 1350 yuan. But this can only make your daughter survive in school and can't lead a normal life.

At school, she also needs to buy daily necessities, school supplies, clothes, skin care products and cosmetics (many club activities or school activities need makeup, so cosmetics are necessary). If she buys some fruits, snacks and drinks, if she gets sick by accident, she will buy some medicines and so on. There are also class fees, community construction fees, class fees, dormitory dinners and so on.

If you only give her the necessary expenses, she can only ask you for money for everything, as small as a pen and a pack of paper, which is even more troublesome and is not conducive to cultivating her ability to manage and control money.

In order to understand the cost of school more intuitively, I cut the following picture:

My wechat bill in April this year

I am in our dormitory, which is one of the cheapest. This picture is the bill I paid by WeChat in April this year. But in fact, it's more than that, because I occasionally pay with Alipay or bank card, and my mother often sends me some fast food and snacks.

Therefore, if you want your daughter to live a normal college life, 800 yuan is definitely not enough. I suggest you give her living expenses 1600 or more every month.

I hope it helps you.
