    I’m a teacher so my salary is low. My daughter is 11 (I’m divorced) and is starting to think about wanting to look pretty and feel like she has the “right” clothing and gadgets to fit in with the other children at school. I’m just worried about keeping up though. I want her to have everything, but my wallet can’t afford that.

    Where is the balance? How and when do I say no?

    This also begs the question of teaching her about the value of a dollar.
