re: When are kids most expensive?

Teenagers are expensive! My son is 14 years old and is about to be a freshmen in HS. He plays travel baseball, metro baseball, and will be trying out for HS baseball. All of that cost money. He's about to get his braces off and that is about $5,000. He will be driving in a couple years so that's another expense. Not to mention clothes, money to go to dances, and other activities. I don't think that I can honestly put a dollar figure on everything we spend on him. But I don't regret one penny. We will do the same for my daughter. It's all part of having kids.
