[quote=Anonymous]In addition to private school, which is obviously optional, in the last year, we’ve paid for braces, tutors ($1000/month), travel sports (if I added up all the travel, I bet it would exceed $15k) and purchased a third car for our teenager. We didn’t have to buy a third car, but otherwise, we would have to continue to pay someone to drive them home from school and to their activities. Next year, we’ll be making several trips to tour colleges and will be paying for SAT/ACT prep. Also, when they’re younger, after school and summer camps work out fine. By the end of elementary school, mine hated after school and complained about summer camps, so we were back to hiring an after school and summer sitters, which put us back at daycare costs. [/quote]
