[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time believing that my two kids will require $3000+ in expenses when they are older.  [/quote]

Braces are 4-6k
Field trips can be 5-40$ Each
Youth group events (church) can be  8-90$
Scout camp can be 300$; High adventure camps are 2000k; weekend campouts are 25-75$
School Band or choir trips can be 1200$
Required dress or Tux is 75$ for said Band
Shoes are men's or women's prices so 100$
Piano lesson are 150$ month
Ski invite can be 200$ dayntrip
Footbball, basketball, school events can be 20$

You absolutely do not have to do some of these thngs like the big trips but none are really that extreme ( except the high adventure/ choir) and they do have fundraising for those.  I just put it out there as we are not over the top with activities but one DC likes to go to a sports activity at school every now and then, likes to bowl/ grap a sandwich with youth group every now and then, go to summer church camp, and participate in scout activities, play guitar.  Our other dc does other things.  It is just part of teen years to do things like a football game, music lessons, a camp whether at church, scouts, school.  Just acivities in general.
