[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wanted to have 4 kids, but after my second it was very easy to let go of that "ideal/dream." I just had to put on paper how much my oldest was costing me in terms of extracurricular activities (4y older than 2nd child, so I had a pretty good idea of how much money we spend on older kids).

Plus, I love to travel with my children and with 2 it is so much more expensive than with one only... I can only "imagine" (also made the math) of how much it would be with 3 or 4 kids....

Aside all of that, I am a better mother of fewer children. [/quote]

I just wanted to add that of course extracurricular activities and travels are CHOICE. Some people prioritize other things over this, but that is what I want for my life and my children's life. So, if one child wants to do theater at the cost of $2400.00/year (and he/she REALLY wants it), I want to be able to say yes. While I can say yes to that and a few other things for younger child, I wouldn't be able to say yes to 10k/year on extracurricular. Or 24k on 529 instead of 12k. You get my point.[/quote]
