When are kids most expensive?
I have two little kids. One is 2.5 now and the other is 6 months. We pay $300 a week for both kids in daycare, PLUS diapers, formula/food, clothes, toys, etc.
Well people here at work tell me that just wait till they are in High school cause kids are WAY more expensive. I don't really know how this is possible. They say you have to buy $100 shoes, $50 jeans, etc. Well if I bought 21 pairs of jeans a year and 4 pairs of shoes that's $1450 total. Well that's not quite 5 weeks of just daycare. 10 more weeks later I would have 3 grand saved up for a decent car for them in high school. I have to believe that pre elementary school is the most expensive time for kids.
So lets do a poll. When are kids more expensive:
0-6 years old. Before school
7-14 yrs old. Elementary - middle school
15-18 yrs old. High school
or the college years........ My wife works for MSU so we get a deal on tuition.
