How much did it cost your parents to raise you?

The value of the dollar was smaller then. Just by how much per a year I have no idea. But I do remember paying like 35 cents for candy from the store or ice cream from the ice cream man.

And I should say I was dirt poor til I was five, my mother had nothing but my grandma took us in at that point. Barely had any clothes til I was tween and gotten a wardrobe (from donations, handmedowns from cousins and goodwill/salvation army) that I barely grew out of for another 10 years. I didn't get any lessons or whatever, I didn't get sick enough to warrant a serious visit to the hospital or anything like that. I should say that my grandma knew how to make clothes and she made some for myself and my brother. Fabric and thread is pretty cheap especially when you're recycling the old clothing fabric.

I rode the school bus and barely ate much... I'd say it'd be just about 50k or so if you factor in lunch money (2 dollars a day for those 4 years at high school, my brother and I actually skipped lunches to get this "allowance" money to spend on what we wanted via games), rarely bought clothes, groceries, car insurance for 2 years and extras such as movies or my going out which was quite rare. She (my grandma) rarely ordered out or bought fast food actually. She rather cooked with a bunch of ingredients and etc with canned goods too.

The MOST expensive thing she bought me was my car after graduating high school which was about 5k and prior to that was my wisdom tooth extraction at 600. So there's NO way she spent over 100k on me. And this was a good... 10 years ago. After high school, I had social security for a while and a job to support myself and eventually most of all, I moved out within that span of 10 years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
