Absolutely, totally, and it's not even close.
My daughters are expensive.
Pimp Jr. is self-contained.
Just gets up and does his thing.
Of course I just bought him a Les Paul so he gets major purchases but he doesn't nickel and dime me.

Send your daughter to ballet summer intensives to SF and NY for 6 weeks every summer and get back to me.

I'd imagine for most girls, yes.

I'm an outlier. I'm almost too frugal and my dad has to remind me that I can buy things if I want them.

Twin 7 yo girls here. They've taken dance and gymnastics since they were 2. Only way I see a boy being close is if they played travel ball.

I have 3 girls. I imagine they will be more expensive than boys, but they will likely take better care of you when you get old.

Yeah but a lot that would cancel out with sports related costs. The Wedding is definitely the big $ difference though it doesnt really need to be (women have been brainwashed that you need to have a wedding that cost $30k+)

well, up until last year, the military covered housing costs. I'm a medically retired vet so health ins is pretty much free. vets compensation, ssdi and CA state are my income. just like the older folks who retire and sometimes end up with three sources of income. only difference is that they have no responsibilities so they live good life
