[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very, very, very thrifty and I would.

I have a son who asks for NOTHING then asked for a $400 gaming system. I bought it. Literally only wants new shoes if his has the bottom fall off. Wears hand me downs.., nothing.

My other son is in travel sports, needs equipment, etc . Always needs something. No I’d ask him to save up the money for something this expensive. He wanted $250 clears and I gave him $100 and he had to use his own money for the rest.[/quote]

I'm with this poster. My kids tend to be pretty minimalist, so if there's a single expensive thing they want as a presents, I'm all for it.

I think this fits in with the minimalism -- buy a few good things and use them until they're basically a few molecules of whatever. Then start over.

I bought a pair of fancy boots when I had my first real job, and I wore them until my feet changed size during pregnancy. After the first real job, I went to grad school, and one of my professors (with an endowed chair) had the same boots. They were that fancy. I miss them.[/quote]
