Mom Sparks Debate After Assuming $200 Is Enough For Daughter's Four-Day Trip With Friends

TikToker Meredith Masony shared how she and her husband gave their 16-year-old daughter $200 in cash for food and other expenses for a four-day birthday trip with her friends—and was shocked when her daughter pushed back.

Comedian and author Meredith Masony received a wakeup call after she openly admitted that she gave her teenager $200 to spend on a four-day, out-of-state trip and was surprised when her teen said it wasn't enough money.

The TikToker explained that she and her husband agreed to give their daughter $200 "in cash" so she could go away for the weekend and have a "fantastic time."


But after she left, they noticed a few small charges go to the Capitol One credit card that they had entrusted to her. They called her that night, inquiring about why she was using the card instead of the cash.

The teen explained:

"'Well that's for food."

Masony reflected:

"I was like, 'I don't understand what that means, that's for food. We gave you $200 for food, for fun. For a fantastic time.'"
"She goes, 'Oh no, food doesn't count in that $200.' I don't ... 'The $200 was mine.'"
"'The $200 was mine.' The Capital One is for food, 'cause you guys have to pay for my food.'"

Staring angrily into the camera, Masony said:

"Teenagers have lost their f**king minds."

While the TikToker might have expected others to come forward and commiserate with her, she was instead bombarded with critical comments, pointing out that $200 was not realistic in today's economy, among other issues in the video. Shortly after posting, she turned commenting off on the video.

But comments continued to roll in on X (Twitter), where the video had been shared.

Some were similarly critical of how unrealistic $200 was for a four-day weekend away.






Others made far more critical comments of the parents.






$200 might be a lot for someone to save up to use on a trip, but it's not a lot of money in the sense of how much you'll be able to purchase with it.

Even the smartest of spenders would struggle to use only $200 during a four-day weekend trip out-of-state in an expensive, touristy city like Nashville—and that isn't guaranteeing they'd have the greatest time.

But when we're talking about teenagers who are still learning how to navigate using tools like money responsibly, that would only be even more of a challenge.
