Reason number 328 I'm glad I have boys ... browsing the local buy/sell groups. " used prom dress $450 paid $600". You paid $600 for an outfit for your daughter can wear one day, not to mention shoes and bag... A few weeks ago someone was posting their daughter's car for sale " take over payments ( 850 a month ) $34,000 left on the loan". The odd thing about it was you could tell by the background pictures these people lived in a trailer park. I just don't understand people's priorities. I had a friend that constantly bought her daughter all sorts of highend expensive name brand clothes every week also twice a month went for fake nail fill ins and pedicures, not to mention hair highlights...but wouldn't pay the hundred bucks a month to put braces on her teeth... "we can't afford it sweetie". punk prom dresses
I see friends buying their Little princesses expensive purses... do you know what those are worth in about five years ... Throw that $800 in a savings account or invest it ...

But yeah - I feel sorry for you guys trying to keep up with the Joneses- just weird to me everyone trying their best to be like everyone ... also my parents should be thankful they had a butch punk daughter...
