re: When are kids most expensive?

I only pay about $560 per month per kid here; grateful for the lower cost of living. I'm also not planning to fork over $30 grand for a wedding. That's absurd. Or at least I was raised to believe such.

But I'm OT poor, so me don't know

Right now, my kids are pretty damned expensive. I can imagine it gets worse, but that's hard to think about at the moment. On top of daycare, we're still figuring out the finances to cover our son's craniosynostosis surgery that's happening this month.
