[quote=Anonymous]The costs go down in early elementary but the college savings eat any savings. Costs continue to rise as they age. While daycare costs may decrease, the food intake increases to an adult and keeps increasing to 2-3 times an adult when they hit middle school. School hours do not cover a full work day, so unless you and your partner can stagger your hours there are still daycare costs. Many people limited college savings during the early daycare years, so they have time to make up. Upper middle school to early HS are the braces years. HS brings car insurance increases, think doubling. Many people also want to travel more as their kids get older and it is more expensive. Activities increase in cost. Musical instruments, music lessons …… it isn’t just sports. [/quote]
