Oh man, this was one of the best things my mom ever did for me. She gave me a montly clothing budget, and we never had to go shopping together again. So much better for both of us. Plus, she attached it to her credit card but in my name, so I was building my own credit while the bills still went to her and she could make sure I was spending it in the right places.
