Kids and Money

Published on May 23, 2026 at 11:46 AM

Can we just take a bit and talk about how kids think they need new every year with things? I was just helping my oldest clean her room so it was organized better, she found her shin guards from this last season of soccer. She asked if we were keeping them or going to buy new for next season. I just looked at her like she was crazy. She's 14 she has been the same height for like 3 years now, she must think money grows on trees or something. Don't get me wrong if they were worn in, looked like they needed to be replaced or had damage done to them in any way at all I would no doubt drop the money on new. These still look brand new, have no cracks or any wear look to them. This coming season will be her first year on varsity so it's not like she will be playing the entire game or anywhere near she did this past season on modified. Please if I am wrong in thinking she doesn't need new next season correct me. I just don't like dropping money on things that aren't really needed when we have the same thing that is in good condition.
