I’m gearing up for a $5000-6000 year per child, but I’m thinking of it as my graduation present to them, for the 12-13 years of really hard work they each put in getting to this point.
Besides, after the year is up, they are facing a whole lifetime of hard work, so don’t they deserve a year to gear up? Ok, maybe not snorkling or para-sailing, and weekends in Eilat. But 12 months of dira life is a fair price to pay.
Girls too. They are facing 30-40 years of really hard work. They deserve the time away.
