Dear Chuck,
Some parents at the school my children attend told me they resorted to Buy Now, Pay Later and even gambling to cover back-to-school expenses this year. We’re always surprised by how much school supplies cost! Can you give me some tips I can share with our group of moms?
Help With Back-to-School Expenses
Dear Help With Back-to-School Expenses,
Back-to-school expenses can certainly strain a family’s budget, but there is an important distinction between an unexpected emergency and an expense we simply failed to prepare for. School supplies are needed every year. I am grateful that you want to help families experiencing the stress and strain of it…
