Every thing is so expensive and if you have already children going to school then being a parent, you should know how to budget wisely. One time J informed us that he is going to have a school field trip.
J: Dad can I join the school field tripthis year?
My wife: Actually Daddy, I saw the last year video of the kids who had field trip during the PTA meeting. Nice and good for J.
Me: Ok, how much is the budget?!
J: Mom can you show the letter?(shy, afraid, smiling)
My wife: Here.(smiling)
Me:What!!!!!!??? €460 !!!!(I can not breath ha ha ha)
My wife: It is not expensive coz it is a 1 week field trip all inclusive like hotel fee, travel fee, food blah blah blah.
Me: Do you know that my first school field trip cost only 100 pesos(€2)! And we did not have hotel but only ride in a bus without any air-conditioned! (hmmmp)
My wife: Here we are again! The same old story!(smiling)
Me: Ok fine! Where is the field trip J?
J: Salzburg
Me: What? Wow!
Me: My first was in Luneta!
Is it really important to have school field trips even parents have difficulty budgeting all the expenses at home? Definitely YES! Why?
