Huh? Can you elaborate on that? I mean, if it deserves fanfare, it must be something I need to understand!

Is it just me, or is everything just crazy expensive these days? My baby girl comes home with this information package for her graduation and tells me it's 200 bucks! Yeesh! Did it cost us that much to graduate? I was ready to say "meh... just go for your GED" : Only kidding, of course... but seriously.

$200 don't they know that's the price of an awesome mod?? I shudder to think what I will have to pay for my little ones..

Cap,gown, year book, invitations...things were cheaper back then but the normal items are the same-ish~

A friend I know made her invitations herself on her computer...it saved a little bit~

The cost of things have gone way up from that time except the wages. I was making 12 bucks an hour in 1980 to do front end alignments on cars. I would do 15 per day, They paid 1 hour each. and go home at 1:00 so back then I was making 180 dollars a day for working 5 hours. The alignment cost the customer 19.95. Today they pay the mechanic about 10 dollars per hour and charge the customer 200 bucks.

She's an awesome kid and she does really great in school so she deserves to have all of it. Just means a little less for mama. But hey, that's what parenting is. You have to sacrifice for your babies.
