[quote=Anonymous]I don't spend $10k, but I do spend significantly more than you.  I recently had to do a budget and was surprised at what I spend.  I spend just over $1k a year for my five year old and closer to $1,500 for each of my boys - 11 and 14. For me, I spend like $800 a year on pantyhose alone and I typically buy maybe $1k in clothes and shoes for fun because I love clothes.  I only buy my kids good clothes if we have an event and I make my older kids wear jeans twice before washing them.  But, when you add in things like coats, shoes, swimsuits, and accessories, the costs climb.

I'm a good shopper but could never keep your budget.  Heck, a pair of shoes for my 14 year old is $70 on a good day and I'll be lucky if I find him a winter coat on sale for $100.  Given that my kids are still growing, their wardrobes turn over each season. It's much easier to spend little money when your kids are small and when you work business casual.  Also, if you can get hand me downs, that helps too, but that ended for me when the kids hit about five.  [/quote]
