[quote=Anonymous]I went back to work when my kid was 6 months old. I worked 4 nights a week after my partner got home from his day job. We did coop at age 3 for symbolic fee and then local public school. DC was never sick, no expensive camps, aftercare, or classes. My partner filed as HH and I filed single making way below $20k. I didn't really have tax expense after EI credit and saver's credit and I still don't. I was able to take lifetime learner's credit for years. I was never going to have a career (long story). I invested 20-50% of my earnings into stock market and retired when the child finished elementary school. I received a finance degree when the child was few months old. The biggest expense for the kid has been food, school PTA, few soccer camps, some travel in US and EU, and $200 a month for health insurance. I think my kid is very cheap.[/quote]
