[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD will be a freshman this year.  We are a little out of practice with back to school shopping after all the time at home, and her body and tastes have obviously changed.  For those of you with kids who don't wear school uniforms, what's your seasonal budget for clothes?  My plan is to set a number and for anything over, she pays from her own money. [b] But I'm honestly not sure what to budget for a teen fall wardrobe in 2021.[/b]  would love some perspective from other parents here.  [/quote]

that depends on your overall budget. There are teens with thousands to spend and teens who rely on donations. I don't understand how you could crowdsource a budget for a wardrobe because every situation is unique [/quote]

OP here.  Good point- I guess I was looking for overall approaches on how people budget but if there are others in a situation specifically similar to ours, some more info might help.  NOVA suburbs, public school, dual income &gt;$700K.  Affording stuff for DD and DS is generally not an issue.  Trying hard not to raise spoiled kids though, so striking a balance between how much we can vs how much we should spend on stuff, activities, etc is always on our minds.  [/quote]

I’m 10:59 and 11:00. We are similar except our income is 500-600k, so a little lower but similar.  We can afford to buy them what they need but that doesn’t mean I’m dropping $100 on new shoes or jeans whenever they want. I still think those type of things are luxury items they can buy for themselves with money saved if they really want them.  [/quote]
