This fulfillment and this evolution go through many expenses, which include for example school, with registrations or even school supplies. You may also have to pay membership fees for sporting, artistic or cultural activities.

After the age of 14 and up to the age of 20, your child gradually turns into a teenager and asks for even higher fees. Indeed, it is during this period that he will express his personality and reveal his character by asserting himself socially in particular. Thus, you will have to take into account in your expenses his social activities such as his outings in town, his parties and evenings of all kinds or his holidays with friends. To ensure his development, also reserve a sum for his passions which can be multiple at this age.
