Dear LTKP,
My daughter is having her bat mitzvah in a year and a half and I am already a wreck. The other moms are spending a fortune and I just can't compete. I don't want to disappoint my little girl, what do I do?
Please help,
Nervous in Timonium
LTKP: Dear NIT, First, congratulations on this milestone. Second, don't fret. You just need to sit your little girl (soon to be a woman!) down and say, "Sweetie, with this ceremony you are becoming a woman in the eyes of the Jewish people and as a woman you're going to have to get a job." 18 months worth of earnings can go a long way toward deferring costs.
Enjoy these moments. They go way too fast.
That's the way to do it.
