[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in lower school so we are talking young kid - the extra curriculars are usually mulitple dance/gymnastics and sports classes - all private. Some with private coaching on the side.  The private summer camps also.

Vacations - it usually ends up being at least one big Disney trip, cruises, trips to ski, trips to the beach - in fact the destination doesn't matter when you are paying air fare for a family of 4 or 5 - 3 to 4 times a year it adds up to a lot.

how old is the kid? Because a summer camp is a must for working parents, and they are all private
Dance, gym, sport?? Nothing wrong with that.
Trips to the beach - I do not believe you actually said that.
Trips to ski - those are incredibly cheap if you know where to go and what to look for

For your information, my kids flight to Europe to spend 2 weeks at granny was $1200. He flew by himself and my parents insisted on paying his expenses once he was there.
I once had a job where travel was required, so I got enough frequent flyer club points to afford free flights for the family and we went to California. My cousin drives a company car, i.e. not his own. My neighbor has rich parents and the grandparents sponsor a yearly holiday for the family.
Even cruises can be got on the cheap if you are educated enough[/quote]
