    Quoted from vid1900:

    If you never get married, and never knock any broads up - you will save, on average, $280,000 per child you don't have to support to the age of 18.
    Then think of the additional savings when they don't move back into the basement, as 58% of them do, after college.....

    Who makes up these numbers? I have 3 kids almost teenagers and they are not that expensive. If you buy them expensive things, cars, private school, and fancy college then yeah. I've spent way more on pinball than I have on them in the past few years that's for sure.

    Quoted from Astropin:

    Really? Add it up....ALL the food, clothing, medical bills, trips, sports....etc.... Over 18 YEARS it adds up. I would bet $280,000 is a low average. No private schools or Porches either.
    I'm going to feel so rich once the kids are out of college! Except for that damn retirement savings thing.........and taxes.......and medical coverage!

    I know some parents that spend thousands a year on sports alone. I keep things pretty simple and my kids don't ask for much. College is what scares me. I've been saving but it never seems like it will never be enough the way costs go up. Honestly who cares. I wouldn't trade my kids for nothing. I have way more enjoyment with them than any material thing or money in the bank.
