Was it expensive for your parents to raise you?

I went to public school, rode the bus to my grammaws house after school/summers, played recreation sports for our small city ($20-30 per sport), played sports in school which was free and I wasn't overweight or anything so just ate basic amounts of food.

My clothing was pretty average for my school...usually bought on sale at department stores. maybe get a nice pair of shoes to start school and perhaps a nicer pair at Christmas.

I had a few video games systems I got for Christmas -- Sega/N64, but I didn't have a computer until later teen years. I had a basic boombox and one of our older tvs, but that was about it for electronics.

Some field trips 2-3x a year with the school and the occasional outting with church but usually nothing over $50-60.

no i literally went summers wearing the same t-shirt all i needed was a $2 water gun & football to entertain myself with friends

i remember getting my first console (xbox 360) and feeling like a god lol goodtimes
