Happens when you have kids. Especially when they are < 5 yrs or > 13

  There's no way this is true. I had 2 kids and between yard sales, Old Navy and WalMart there's no way you could spend $500 a month unless you're buying high end, designer clothes and new Air Jordan's every month.

  In urban areas, where you can have a decent social network with a minimum amount of effort and everybody's trying to get rid of their kids' old baby stuff because they have no space in their home? My toddler is set until he's 3, and we didn't pay a cent for clothes; he's in 100% hand-me-downs. Had so much that my wife started a "clothing library" to lend out the stuff he wouldn't need for another 1-2 years. We just gave a bunch of his newborn stuff to another couple that's having their second shortly; they gave him a bunch of their first's when she outgrew them.

  I've raised three kids to adulthood. Kids absolutely should not be blamed for such incredible poor impulse control and budgeting.
