[quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to spend that much money on an older kid, but if you run in wealthy circles or work a lot, you’ll spend a lot. Speciality camps can be expensive ($500 - $800 a week), travel sports are expensive, iPhones and AirPods, braces and car insurance are expensive. Tutoring and test prep are very expensive, therapy even more so. My 15 year old does a rec sport, so we spend maybe $400 a year on that. He isn’t getting braces and we don’t yet have to pay for license related things. He works during the summer. My 10 year old does martial arts, which is a complete money grab. $2500 down the drain for that every year. But he loves it. We don’t need camps for either kid anymore. [/quote]
