How Much!!!
Every year at Christmas, many feel obligated to spend a lot of money for gifts because "it's the thing to do", or they feel like they have to "one up" the gift at someone bought them. I was shocked recently when my 10 year old Granddaughter asked for a pair of those $300 headphones for Christmas! I struggled to catch my breath at the thought of spending that kind of money on something that will either be broken or insignificant in a couple of months. Not to be mean, but I use headphones for my work, and they don't come anywhere near a price tag of $300. This child has never even babysat, let alone hold a job! However, she didn't even hesitate to ask for such a lavish gift. While I am not even considering her request, I would be interested to know if you spend $300 for headphones for a child?
