It’s not worth it but give your kids whatever sheltered life you want

Having to spend money tp avoid being socially ostracized IS frivolously spending money.
Unworthy of serious attention; trivial.
Inappropriately silly.
Of little weight or importance; not worth notice; slight.

To each their own…I would count not being socially ostracized as highly important, appropriate, and of significant weight.

So you would teach kids that bowing to social pressure by buying overpriced fashion items is ok?
To each their own indeed.
