[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We’re a two parent house, college educated, decent careers[/b]. Even with supposed good insurance we really struggled to pay for braces for our two oldest. My youngest daughter plays on a cheap YMCA sports league and it seems basically every lower income teen her age has braces. Meanwhile we’re still saving $ to put her in braces. Where do they all find the $ for orthodontia? I’m at a loss as to how this is possible. [/quote] I'm struggling to understand how you can't come up with $3K - before insurance. If you have two incomes, and decent careers - where is all of your income going. [/quote] I wonder that too.[/quote] They probably overstretched on their house and other expenses combined with having more kids than they can afford. [/quote]
