It’s hard to bring up a kid these days with your “frugal” values when “reality TV” and their “peers” are everywhere.
I don’t think I worked any harder than any other parent. My daughter just called me, and her exciting news was that she got two shirts before a bachelorette party in Vegas, and they only cost $9. Total. My son shops at 2nd hand stores.
I still wear my 501’s regularly. Though I like the fit of the 5-0-something else better. And flip-flops. Sad they don’t cost $1.05 anymore. Don’t seem to last as long either. My 15 year old car is slightly older than the one I drove in high school.
