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.
