No more splurges. My 2nd grader asked to wait a few weeks into school and then go buy clothes once he sees what other kids have. One year he asked for jeans and then was sad he didn’t have a full week of “soft pants” like all the other boys.
Yup. I’m an unabashed consumerist, but my kids don’t like/appreciate expensive things. Plan an activity with them instead of buying stuff.

We just started saving for this. But college fund is more responsible.

A splurge item for school? I wouldn't. I'd just put the money elsewhere.

What would you purchase for your kids in el school? Sort of a splurge item.
