"less material for clothing etc"
Kids grow out of clothes and shoes, so you need new clothes that fit them. You tend to buy them toys and safety equipment and possibly electronics to entertain them. They break things at a much higher rate than regular adults. They want to go play with their friends, which if you live in the suburbs sometimes means driving.
- OldHand2018 5y agoHaving 1 child with no cousins is going to be expensive, but like much else, there are economies in scale. My siblings and cousins have always just passed around clothes as children grow out of them. By the time an article of clothing makes it out of the family, it has likely been worn by 3-4 kids. And then you sell it or give it away. Sure, some stuff wears out or is destroyed, but you'd be surprised how little. Just stay away from all that pop culture crap where most of the money goes to licensing fees ;)
