I see so many people in Europe my age as I described blaming it on money yet spending like there's no tomorrow.
- wharvle 3y agoI could have bought, say, a Tesla with cash for just what our three kids cost in medical expenses for their first five years of life. And ours weren’t that expensive. I could take a $4k trip to Japan every year for the next 20 years and not approach childcare costs before they were in school. Extra monthly housing costs for a good school district versus a more-conveniently-located and similarly-safe but worse-schools area nearby would cover the payment on a pretty damn good car. US perspective (if you couldn’t tell from the reference to high healthcare costs) but still. Kids are crazy-expensive.
