[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food alone for a teen will run about 3000-5000/year. Summer camp is 4500 (for us). We do public school, but spend about 800/year for rec league sports, and 1000/year for piano. Oh, and $1200/year for religious school. So, our annual costs are about 10K. Actually, this year, it is much higher, as we are also paying 10K for a Bat Mitzvah party, but that will only happen once.[/quote] I get it - there will always be costs with kids at any age. In some ways the big expense events like braces or Bat Mitzvah parties would be harder to plan for when it isn't a part of your monthly budget. Last year we spent almost $40,000 in daycare so I feel like I will be able to handle a few extra activities. [/quote]
