exclnt Guardian article - childrearing costs in US
(1 reason i have no kids - $)

but the disparities in living in the US. JFC. & the cluelessness

-- a family w housewife mom, surgeon dad. doing well in Annapolis... about $18500/month spent on kids. mom thinks, bc she knows richer ppl with $10m vacation homes, they're reasonable

-- another family, mom&dad are fresh PhDs in Fargo. struggling. $760/month on kids. they go to food pantries, kids have no health insurance

Transportation: During the school year, we use free public transportation. But public transport is very poor in Fargo. It is only good for getting to campus. [At other times,] we use our car. Gas is $50 to $65 a month.

Clothes and toys: About $400 a year. We buy shoes once a year. We don’t buy clothes monthly. Mostly, we buy them from Walmart or thrift stores, and we brought a lot of clothes from Bangladesh. For toys, they play Legos. And we have lots of stuffed dolls, many that we got for free.

Healthcare: Our children have no health insurance. They get sliding fees at Family Health Care. Whenever we go, it’s a $30 copay. My wife and I are required to pay for health insurance, which costs $2,000 each a year.

Monthly total: About $760

Transportation: The 17-year-old has her own car, a used VW Taos that I bought for $28,000. She drives the 14-year-old and herself to school. Gas is usually $150 a month. I have an electric vehicle and do some driving, but my wife does most of the driving to sports practices, etc, in her SUV. Gas for her is about $300 a month.

Healthcare: $2,083 a month for the whole family

Clothes: About $400 a month for all three kids combined

Activities: My two daughters play club lacrosse. The club fee is $2,575 a year, per kid – so, $430 a month. This does not include the gas and hotel fees for the eight to nine tournaments each year that are often a two to five hour drive from Annapolis. This year, we paid for 10 nights in hotels at the cost of about $200 a night – so, about $166 a month.

Travel: We take some very expensive vacations. A five-day all-inclusive to Turks and Caicos this year was $16,000. We spent 10 days in London and Paris last year and it probably cost $30,000.

Savings: A Maryland 529 (a college investment plan) to which we have contributed $415,000

Monthly total: About $18,500
