So what does his daughter do? She posts about the money and settlement on FB and her father loses the cash.
So, other than standard things (such as food, medical care, schooling and other expenses) what is the most money that you've ever "cost your family" by doing something foolish?

If her father was the dean of the prep school and she's bragging about trips to Europe, 80k probably isn't much to them. Other than it being terrible that teens can brag about stuff like this, I just wanted to point out that they're most likely well-to-do. About $25, I think.
