[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the poster who suggested the budget.  With said $500 budget, one kid chose a new north face backpack.  The other reused his backpack, but bought $200 sneakers.  Whatever. I don't care.  They are not growing anymore, so all is this is a refresh.  Once you set the budget, it's so freeing.  My daughter used to love a lot of cheap crap.  But with her own money, she sees the value of choosing wisely.[/quote]

Who pays for sports clothes, sport shoes, school shoes, church clothes, winter coats, boots etc?[/quote]

School shoes, them.  It's a back to school budget.  Everything else I do, but those are not areas they overspend on. My DS has a north face jacket and my DD a hollister.  They rarely wear coats, so they should last forever.  I don't expect to buy winter boots again.  Their feet are done growing.  My dd lost a key sports item and I made her do extra chores to earn back the cost.  [/quote]

So not very appropriate for growing kids and you left a lot of the needs out.[/quote]
