You're the one who personally attacked me as being poor so I was responding to that attack. FTR my kids think I'm pretty fun too, and they don't feel deprived. In fact they've thanked me for teaching them how to earn and manage money ...

But for the record, I think a kid on crutches is a different story... you didn't mention that at first. In that case I might help with the tickets this first week and tell him to get that handicap card tomorrow because the ticket cost will jump up and he'll need to pay it going forward
