I was really excited for my daughter. Well we get home from school and she does not beat around the bush. Basically the cost is $2,000 oh get this parent(s) only have “ONE MONTH” to turn the money. But the trips are not until next year?! I’ve let my oldest daughter borrow right at or close to $1,000. Even if she found a full time job next week. She would not be able to make enough to pay all that back in that amount of time. That’s not reasonable. Then I her dad has bills too. You can tell some in a months notice you need $1,000.
I told my daughter I did not the way her school went about this trip. If other parent(s)can swing $2,000 at the last minute great for them.
Ugh, yes, that sounds very expensive. It would be a great experience if you had the money. If my daughter had that opportunity, we wouldn't be able to swing it moneywise probably only if we knew about it years in advance and even so, maybe not then.
