A gradual increase in the volume or intensity of parents' spending their money.. This Creschpendo begins when their children start their travel sports teams. Then, the spending intensifies with the additional cars and insurance for inexperienced drivers. The spending intensity continues to gain momentum as children enter college whilst on the dole for healthcare, car, car insurance, tuition, room/board, study abroad, and attorney's fees for that public drunkenness incident. At the peak of this Creshpendo, you be spending money so dizzyingly that you will lose all sight of what money is and that it once was something that could be saved/stored. On the other side of the Creschpendo is the Decreschpendo, which is the gradual de-intensifying of spending that slowly ends when your children get jobs.
I have begun my Creschpendo, but Dave is in the thick of it. He is shoveling money into a large shop Vac and has it blowing in reverse.
