[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's talk about examples where people downplay how much something costs.

"What do you mean you can't throw your child a birthday party? You can pull one together for less than $100, easy!"

I think they're rounding down. After food, paper materials, a random thing you need for an activity, a goody to take home, the cake, a few simple decorations, you're over $100...and you still don't have gifts for your kid.

"I just made this cool bench! I did it for $80!!" Never mind they already owned 75% of the supplies.[/quote]

Maybe it really does cost that much.  Yes, you can do a birthday part for under $100 if you do it at home, playground, etc.  The gift for your child is not included in your birthday party as that is not part of the party.  You can get decorations at Dollar Tree.

I buy a lot of clothing on clearance ahead so most people like you think I'm spending crazy amounts of money and I'm not and often buying it at 75% off, if not more.

We own power tools and DIY a lot so yes, it costs us less as its labor is free.[/quote]
