I've said this before but besides daycare babies/toddlers are cheap.


I love how people say this. Yeah, except for that mortgage-esque daycare payment and consistent costs of diapers, formula, and constant trips to the doctor, babies/toddlers are cheap.

That's pretty much like saying "except for my house, phone, car, and student loan payments, I don't have any debt!"

Babies don't go to daycare; our preschool tuition is about 1/3 the cost of the mortgage.

consistent costs of diapers

So $150 or so upfront, plus whatever the laundry detergent costs?

formula

You mean breast milk?
quote:

constant trips to the doctor

OMG, a $10 copay!

You're right. What I should have said is, "babies/toddlers are cheap, unless you actively go out of your way to make them as expensive as possible."

You took out a loan to pay for your phone? Sounds like you need to click over to the money board. They can help you there.
