And I wouldn't be surprised if the costs are even higher for additional kids above the average. There are a number of things that are just easier (read: cheaper) for a family of 4 to do, compared to a family of 6 - hotel rooms on vacation, size and type of vehicle, etc, etc... I'm just praying one of my kids is successful enough to take care of my old ass  |
You could blow that entire amount on private college if you wanted to.
