[quote=Anonymous]The unknowns. I use to not get it either OP. I just thought I would use public schools, free sports, hand me downs, etc etc. You can do all that BUT there is so.much.unknown. Here are some things we have been thrown with my kids: 1.) One son was born with a unique eye disordered. We had to fly to Akron Ohio 5 times in the first 2 years of his life for multiple surgeries and paid out of pocket for various therapies. All said and done with medical expenses (we have great insurance to BTW), travel, hotel, therapies, etc was about 20k when all said and done. 2.) We had another child who needed speech therapy for about 2 years= 8k out of pocket 3.) Braces!! I always tell parents "brace yourself for braces"= 3 kids will cost us about 20k. These are just a few of the random unpredictable expenses of children. I know some people consider braces optional but in my opinion if its within your realm of capabilities you owe your kids nice teeth. [/quote]
