Wait until they get into high school and are in organizations that have fees. Kids are just expensive and it gets more expensive as they get older. My son's band fees in public school are nearly $1000 on the high school level (highly ranked band in the state). It's just part of the whole raising kids things. If it's not band, it's cheerleading, or drill team, or drumline, or soccer, or football, or . . . . Then there's cars, college, etc. . . . Something to look forward to.
