[quote=Anonymous]While they are in day care kids simply aren't that expensive, so if you can cover the care you will be okay. Diapers are ~370/year. Check multiples club sales for clothes, toys, and books. Don't go overboard buying things new that they will only use for a short period of time. Save as much as you can before you have the kid. You can make it work if it is a priority for you. We tightened up when trying to conceive. 70k in Ivf costs (without knowing if it would end or not) puts other costs/wants into perspective. People with less intellect and income have cared for children for centuries - you can do it, you will figure it out. [/quote]
