[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make ~$450k and I would estimate that between the ages of 5-16, I spent virtually nothing on my kids (boys). Yeah the house is slightly bigger than it would otherwise be. Don't do travel sports, and I'm not chump enough to send kids to private school when we have some of the best publics in the nation. We're probably talking like $10/day on food, $3k extra on disney and one other trip per year (we would travel anyway so it's just a matter of extra tickets), and maybe $300 on clothes. So that brings me to about $7k per year per kid.

Sure, between Ages 2-5 it's 25k for daycare, and then at 16 you need to buy a car and then pay for college. But to say that a kid costs over 10k per year as a blanket statement just tells me you are a moron (in one of three or four potential ways)[/quote]

You better double check your budget. I guarantee you are spending more than $300 a year on kids shoes alone. Growing boys eat a lot more than $10 of food every day. Disney is more than $3k unless you drive there and sleep in your car.[/quote]
