What is up with the OP? Another brag? Who spends that kind of money on their kid?
Well, ok, you're rich. Congratulations. When I was a kid, I got Kmart clothes and my mom worked at the Payless warehouse so I got Pro Wings for shoes. Not that I'm proud but I feel that I probably learned a lot more growing up poor than these kids that have rich parents buying them everything.

I do OK for myself financially so I understand wanting your kid to have nice things so don't take this post as me saying you're stupid for buying your son whatever you choose. Just don't expect some of the others on here who maybe don't have that type of financial stability to understand it. |

Why back to school shop at all? Just make your kid wear the shit he had last year.

Uh, kids grow. Pretty much every year, I'm told.

My mom used to put clothes on layaway.
I still have my Tony Llamas and a pair of Snakeskins from 30 years ago. |

650$ boots are insane, don't do that.
Also, don't buy your kids 20$ Walmart shoes. JFC. |

I honestly mean no disrespect, as I am sure others have pricier items than I had. It’s just I can remember buying better shit for less money in the recent past. ****, I’d about give the shirt off my back to most anyone.
I’m glad the con of “back to school” will only be one more year after this one. Edit: and I won’t have to buy boots unless his feet grow, so there’s that ![]()

Yeah, not excited… at this point I just hope he stays close to home when college happens.

If I'm paying, my son will go to a state school unless he can otherwise get a private or out of state school paid for with scholarships. There are plenty of wonderful state options here and there is no reason to go elsewhere.
