Re: So expensive

WE struggled with this when Annie was young. They were called "American Girl Dolls." They, along, with the accessories were ~$100 back then. It was, "but this friend or that friend had them yadda yadda". "Why can't we afford it?"

It was a good lesson in "not keeping up with the Jones's." She couldn't understand that, because we don't buy this sort of stuff, we can afford it. While all these little kids are/were getting the latest and greatest, have parents who live pay check to pay check.

Okay, as a 7 year old she didn't quite grasp it but now being 18, she has a much better understand of more proper money matters.
