[QUOTE="Fran, post: 132215, member: 3"] My .02? Sit down and teach Nicole that one never trusts one's own money to anyone including a teen age boyfriend. Her school money goes in an account for school and nothing else. It is shameful that grants given to her for education should be spent on anything else including cars. I would not give her money for the car/driver's liscense or anything else. She can't afford a car and why would you throw away good money after bad. Help her learn to sit down and make a financial plan. If she didn't check what time the testing center closed or check to make sure she had what she needed, there is a good chance she isn't following through with what is needed to be independent. It's her responsibility to make sure she has things signed and documented. She must learn to not depend on boyfriend. It's unrealistic. He is a teen ager and most aren't ready to handle money wisely. Chances are slim he will be in the picture in another year or two. Hopefully he will but I wouldn't be optimistic that's for sure. Lord knows my difficult child is clueless but money earmarked for one thing is not allowed to be used for anything else. Including a difficult child driven emergency. So many difficult child's are not very good with money. I can't fix difficult child but I sure can't allow him to go on spending my money or govt money without consequences. [/QUOTE]
