Kids in Extracurricular Activities

Testimony★★★

I used to work in a very low socioeconomic situation and I would notice that the people that I was working with, which they weren’t making a lot of money in their roles, they would tell me every weekend, oh, I’m taking my 2 and 3 year old to Disney on ice. And I’m thinking, that sounds expensive to do this like every weekend.
