First Month Expenses

In The Sunday Times yesterday, there is a very interesting write-up on how much parents spend on the first month to start-off their children’s education at Primary One. The average is about $800. Is this an acceptable figure or too expensive? I’m not sure.

Using the same method, I’m going to calculate our little master’s first month expenses at pre-nursery.

• Transportation: $0 (We will drive him to school)
• Pocket money for recess: $0 (Food is provided by the school)
• Haircut: $10
• Shoes: $0 (Use existing shoes)
• School Bag: $25
• Water Bottle: $10
• Uniform: $60 (Two sets of uniforms & two sets of PE attires)
• Fees: $500 (per term)
• Worksheets and materials: $200 (per year)
• Enrichment Classes: $0 (No enrichment class at the moment)
• Grand Total: $805.00

How amazing! The total also comes up to about $800.

This is Little Edison in his uniform. Obviously, he still doesn’t like to wear this uniform.
