Is your child going back to college this year, or heading to college for the first time? Marketplace Money is looking for insight into how you as a parent are helping your college student plan their finances.
Share your experience with Marketplace Money.
Do you lay down the law for the school year budget with your college student, or do you work out a budget together? Who pays for what?

Your stories wanted. Share your thoughts on college student budgeting, and Tess might just drag you onto the show to ask you about your game plan.
