[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 middle school girls. A lot of the discretionary food budget goes to them wanting to get Starbucks, Canes, sushi with their friends, etc. it’s expensive and adds up. I don’t need to spend money on myself for that kind of quick casual. DH and I go out to dinner a few times a year and it’s always nice but also just so expensive. We cook a lot at home. I’ll add, we ski all winter (we live in CO now). We always set aside budget for lodge lunches which are a racket. I usually eat a protein bar in my ski bag and whatever my kids don’t finish. I don’t even consider myself cheap but am floored at the cost of eating out. [/quote] This is silly. You give your kids a weekly budget, and after that they get a job and pay for it. Learn to say no.[/quote]
