Are we raising a generation of kids addicted to their device screens? Just as our parents limited the amount of (TV) screen time we kids had, so today’s parents are striving to find ways to anchor their children in the real (as opposed to the virtual electronic) world. We loved watching TV and today’s kids do too.

According to the July 15, 2010 Back to School Survey from the National Retail Federation, the average family spent around $600 per child for back to school needs, split between clothing (37%); electronics (30%); shoes (17%) and school supplies (16%). In our neighborhood folks buy really nice name brand clothing for their kids.

There are boat shows, boats at Cabella’s, boat manufacturers and lots of people whose main recreation is ‘going to the lake’ My growing up family were definitely land lubbers. You may have very good reasons for purchasing! Not all family members like boating. We own a lake front property, yet do not own a boat.

If so, you just may want to check out the new 2014 Kia Sorento. It fit my family of 5 perfectly, with 3 rows of seats (so the kids are squished or bugging each other). Back up cameras allow you to look forward, while still seeing behind you – and they help to see little objects or people that may be in a blind spot.

Going out Black Friday shopping was a tradition in our family for years. I thoroughly enjoyed partaking in the craziness with my kids, sisters, and nieces. Plus, I’m using my phone for other things (like price matching Amazon) and keeping up with my family! Leave the kids at home. Go for electronics.

Food costs would be a sum of the total of how much money it would cost to feed your family on a monthly basis. Monthly clothing costs would include any pants, shirts, dresses, shoes, and outfits that are needed for you, your spouse, or your kids. These things may make our lives a whole lot easier but they are not essential to living.
