[quote=Anonymous]19:13 has a good point. Pre-kid, I had a townhouse for $1,100/month. Post-kid, I couldn't deal with the commute once daycare was added in, and I realized the schools in my area weren't very good. So now I pay $2,500/month for the mortgage on a SFH. I can almost guarantee that I wouldn't have a SFH without a child; I'd either still be in my townhouse or I would have bought a smaller condo. I also drive a lot on weekends because of activities, so add in gas and wear and tear on the car. Without the kid, I'd probably take the bus to metro, saving me $100/month in parking, and I'd really never take my car anywhere but the gym and the grocery store on weekends.[/quote]
