<prompt> Human: Gimme some hot tips. Wife and I are married, both work full-time, combined income of 110,000.  <response>: Kid expenses are very ego based. Its all about what we think our kids should have to be seen as good parents and successful in life. We love our kids and want to give them the world, so we buy them things because we love them. It makes us feel good because we think it makes them feel good. In reality a childs needs are very basic. They dont care what they wear. Too many toys just creates chaos. Keep life simple. Dont go overboard buying things to prove your love. Spend time not money wherever you can.
