Why? You either have it or you don't. Teach them to be relatable, the answer to “the price of a gallon of milk” or what most people earn a year, to pretend like “they got a deal on rent” when around their struggling friends. But there is literally no need to waste your time in that rat race out of pride, only out of necessity.
Its just not worth it from a time and lifestyle perspective.
- balls187 5y agoI'm not following your comment. My kids don't have to pay rent. Kids need clothes replaced every year, (more if they hit a growth spurt), and where we live we have "short sleeve" weather, and "long sleeve" weather. Which means they need two sets every year. They also need specialty items as well: winter jackets/boots, and rain jackets/boots which need to be purchased, every year. Buying higher end name brands gets costly quick, when other alternatives exist. Iphones are expensive, and kids are not (generally) good with keeping track of their things. Phones are prone to breaking, being stolen, or being lost, and at $500+ a pop, it gets expensive quickly. For my family--phones, and nice clothes are in the realm of gifts. Not for everyday purchases.
