[quote=Anonymous]Childcare is a big expense, either paying for it or choosing to have one parent stay home or reduce hours/pay. Food (and formula and diapers, disposable or cloth) are not insignificant. And clothes are never ending. Buying/renting a larger place is a huge expense. Most people get a TH/SFH instead of a studio apartment, when they have kids. Getting a TH/SFH in a good/excellent school district is even more expensive. As the children get older, vacation gets expensive, with additional plane tickets. Most intangible is the increased stress and loss of time, for healthy eating, exercise, down time, etc.[/quote]
