[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A younger couple at $250k with two kids in day care is a heck of a lot different than a $250k couple with teens who have the advantage of savings and house appreciation.  It is two completely different worlds.  [/quote]

Um, teens are much more expensive than little kids in daycare

[/quote]

Spoken like someone who hasn't paid for daycare in over a decade.  How are you spending $3000 a month on your teen?  I'll give you a few hundred of those dollars as extra food and clothing.  Which is much more expensive for teens.  But.  What else?[/quote]

Private school. $55k a year. Sports lessons $500 a month, Travel sports $300 a month, therapy, $1000 a month, trainer $600 a month, travel for sports $300 a month (average). [/quote]

Damn. I am an actual middle class person and this is more than my entire family's annual spending. On everything. So this is obviously not what life just happens to cost. [/quote]
