I'm just looking through Old Navy to figure out how much I'll have to spend to send my kids off into the new school year. I'm looking to spend about $175 for each of them with new clothes, sneakers, boots, and school supplies.
I started to feel bad knowing that I would never be able to get them Jordans or anything like that, then I realized, my kids are white. They don't need expensive clothes to keep them from looking poor. That's pretty much the only reason I can see for any parent to spend more than $40 on a pair of sneakers that the kid won't wear after six months.
I've seen kids my kids age (6 & 8) wearing gold and leather jackets to school. I know that their parents don't make more money than I do, they just have different goals. They want to pretend they're not broke and poor while living in the projects. I'd like to save as much as possible and eventually move the fuck out.
