[quote=The-Shoveler]Our Software Development manager probably spends that much on his kids as well but he lives in Beverly Hills.

I guess if you have a home worth maybe 5-10 Mil it’s kind of expected.[/quote]

I really think how much I spend per kid is average, or close to average. Noone said raising children is cheap. I forgot what I was watching yesterday, but they stated that it costs around $1 Million to raise 1 child in CA. Not sure if that is the total amount or the PV, but it sounds about right.
