A frontliner texted in to share a conversation they saw unfolding on social media — a heated debate over whether $500 is enough to cover back-to-school expenses for one child. People were going back and forth, weighing in on the cost of clothes, school supplies, and other essentials.
Honestly, it depends. The student’s age, whether they attend a school that requires uniforms, and even where you shop can make a big difference. For one child, I think $500 can go a long way if you budget wisely and shop smart. It might not be easy, but with some planning, it’s definitely doable.
