That makes sense, though me and my mom already discussed we'd have to collaborate some....so she knows what my needs are, like I'd have to inform her if I need a new toothbrush, toothpaste or whatever. Also though I am still confused as to whether 'needs' means specifically the bare essentials or if it includes things to make life better such as maybe better furniture for my room...kind of assuming its the latter.

But yeah the spending money isn't the first priority, I was just concerned there would be none at all......and that any time I wanted to do something I'd have to bring my mom since I'd have no money for my spending. I mean that would suck if I wanted to go to a concert and had to bring her in case I want a t-shirt or something after the show(we like some of the same bands but I like metal and she's not really into that)...but if I have a little spending money then I can just go pay on my own and if I so desire get a t-shirt after. Most concerts I go to cost 20$ at most.
