Ukrainian singer Elena Topol (performs under the pseudonym of Alyosha) frankly shared how the daily life of her large family in Kiev looks like today. After the shelling and the loss of her own apartment, the artist does not hide: the usual needs of the family goes from 150 to 200 thousand hryvnias on a monthly basis.
And, according to Elena, it is not about luxury, but about basic things - the education of three children, their development and joint family life.
The main part of the family budget is absorbed by the costs of children - Roman, Mark and Maria. These are learning, sections, and developmental circles. Trips, new clothes (which children quickly "grow"), products, fuel for permanent rings and salaries of nanny are added.
" For someone, the amount may seem great, but if you calculate, it looks quite logical ," Olena admits.
Despite the difficult time, the Poplar family tries not to lose the main thing - unity, rest and common emotions.
“ We do not save on a joint holiday. These are memories, it's life. These are the most pleasant periods when we do not go to study or concerts, but simply spend time with a family, ”the artist explains.
They do not have a rigid financial plan - everything is formed "natural". However, it is mandatory to invest in joint time with children: trips, vacations, moments of sincerity.
" It is these moments that make us closer ," Elena adds.
