Guest shiloh357 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If I had to support children, it would mean living hand-to-mouth. I have no children and from a financial standpoint that's a good thing. I don't think it is wise to have children if you can't afford to raise them in a decent manner. I will leave parenting to those who have more going for them than I do, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it cost a quarter of a million dollars per kid? Over 18 years that means you are spending 14k a year exclusively on *1 child*. Unless there is some dire medical stuff going on, or you are paying out of pocket for their college later, or you are sending them on costly vacations, I don't get it. As far as getting larger dwellings go-- couples without children choose to do that too. Most of this is going to be lifestyle choice, not pure necessity. It occurs to me one way to spend all that cash though, if you are buying childcare. Daycares, nannies, private schools, then sure, I can see the 250k add up. But that again is going to be a lifestyle choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you can imagine in a family with only boys, that had limited effectiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
