[quote=Anonymous]We committed to giving our child the best life they can have.  Life is a balance.  Long term, college, and hopefully graduate school.  We pay for private weekly music lessons, drive to a further school (public) as it has their interests, a few speciality camps in the summer and a sport of his choosing.  Make sure he has everything he needs - clothing, books, etc, nice bedroom decorated for him, everything he needs for school.  He doesn't ask for much so that makes it easy.  Also, make sure he feels safe, loved and teach him basic life skills, financial common sense and more.

I am not sure if we will get a car or what extra's in the future.  I am not ruling out a car at some point to get him started/no debt but not at 16, maybe after college or senior year.

Wedding, a very small one I'd help with, lavish no.

Downpayment for a house, maybe.  It depends on how we are doing financially.

His kids... well, once he has kids, its all about them.  Would like to start a college fund, help with clothing and the basics.  And, be the grandma he doesn't have but that I had.[/quote]
