Soon our kid will be graduating in middle school and prepping for it will cost some money.
From the graduation cap and gown to the things that needed to be bought, not to mention the gifts, dinner and parties with close friends!
There are so many things to pay that our child will be finishing soon with 8th grade. The cap and gown will cost $25 and they will also be going to a field trip to an amusement park which will cost $40!
Since our child will also be prepping for college, we wanted to buy him his own computer. We wanted a computer that will serve its way until college. We found one but it`ll cost $600, which is not in the budget at the moment ( with all the things we need to prepare for him after graduation) so we have to pass on that for now.
Instead of giving him a computer, we will give him simple gifts and throw a party for him. A simple one of course, with family and close friends. We also planned on having a picnic with the kids to celebrate with a budget of $15!
Yes, we have spent a lot this time and for a budget wise person like us, we won’t be thinking about that this time. For we are very happy and proud –everything is worth it!
We are still excited from the fact that they will be moving on with the next chapter of their education. Time flies so fast isn’t? it’s like reminding us that our kids will soon have to leave us for college. But as a parent, we must face this and let them achieve their goals in life.
So how are you doing with your preparations?
