[quote=Anonymous][quote]Very easy to figure that out. Private school $53k Car Insurance/Gas $2500 - 3k Braces $7k Travel Sport $4k (club fees and very little travel) Medical $3k (often more - ACL surgery/Physical Therapy/CoPays/Contact Lenses) Clothes/Hair $1500 (school uniform/weekend clothes/shoes/haircuts/sports equipment) Food $2k (wild guess - teen boys eat constantly) Travel $4k (vacations/college visits) Some of these estimates are probably too low. [/quote] I forgot to include something for housing, buying an extra car, therapy (many kids have anxiety), school activities - and our food costs definitely exceed $2k. More like double that, including eating out.[/quote]
