[quote=Anonymous]What rubs me wrong about OP's original post is that she/he THINKs they know what to expect, but honestly, you have no idea. You can plan on saving $ when they start public school - but they need private. You can plan on only doing rec sports - but your kid is really good and loves it, so you end up on a travel team. You think you'll be fine in your apartment - then you realize you are all going crazy and end up buying a house. Shoes are really expensive, consignment stuff is less available, equipment costs more, and food costs are REAL. I hope that your older kids don't cost more than your baby, but odds say that you will end up like most of us and end up spending more money on them than you planned. we are Saved a lot of money in the baby and elementary school years, but that was mainly luck, having a sahm, and a fortuitous move to a lower cost of living area.
