    yeah I mean daycare for us is cheap, like 800/mo

    it can be much more expensive in other parts of the country

    and that doesnt count food and diapers and clothes and toys and doctor visits and all the shit you have to buy like cribs and car seats

    Pretty sure that is a low ball number.

    Like raising a kid from birth through college is like a $250,000 last I heard.

    i dunno. maybe have a fallback, because in my experience add medication doesn't work like that. what you're talking about is a self-delusion, i think, so if you legitimately no longer have any will or interest then it might be time to look elsewhere and start moving toward some goal.

    i'm talking about something not brand new, but within the last 10ish years maybe

    good action movie i think

    preferably not cheesy action?

    like a bond movie or a bourne movie but not one of those, something i haven't seen before

    maybe also a mystery type deal

    Oh, shit I didn't even think about daycare.

    $10,000/yr is very low if you don't have a parent at home raising the child.

    Yeah, you could literally rent the babby an apartment for less than the cost of daycare.

    It wouldn't be low if one of the parents was young enough that he or she didn't have a career before the baby. Those people probably bring the average down.

    They're also the sort of people that that PSA was probably targeting.

    The thing is that I'm pretty much only interested in STEM and all of that shit is hard and I don't think I could tackle it without help. Basically I'm gonna medicate for my depression, ADD and anxiety and then enroll again and see how I do. I still want to program, but right now I don't want to try because the results were previously so poor.

    A buddie's wife did exactly this. They spent her entire check on day care every month. So she quit and took care of the kid. Unfortunately, the problem arose that when the kiddo went to school and no longer needed day care she didn't care to go back to work. This caused some tension.

    Are you supposed to sprinkle gold leaf on gerber food?

    With daycare, absolutely. You will spend maybe $150/month just on the things he poops in.

    One huge cost savings: exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6mo. Try for a year. That will save piles of cash (if the mother is at home).

    Babby is expensive, and a lot of those costs are super front-loaded. They get cheap from like 7 - 13, then expensive again until they leave.

    ok lets say 5-6 diapers a day, so 2000 diapers a year = $500/year

    food maybe $30-$40/week = $1500-$2000/year

    doctors appointments vary depending on your plan, but you will have many checkups and shots, say $500-$1000/year

    so we are at $2500-$3500 ballpark for basic necessities

    formula would be a lot of extra money, dunno how much

    clothes can be a big expense if you like to splurge, but it doesnt have to be all that much

    toys/stroller/car seat/etc.

    $10k/year is probably about right
