How much does your kid cost you each year?

So at least 12k per year.

This sounds about right. Although for lessons and activities we are spending more like 10k for private music lessons, math tutoring and rec sports. It all adds up.

$13k for private school (outside of the DMV, sorry)
Probably $5k for everything else
