I wish I had started saving our grocery receipts so that I know how much I’ve spent on formula…

No, I don’t have kids (yet), but I did find out that my husband and I spent over 15k on travel expenses last year.

When my sister had kids, the babies apparently needed a $250 Eddie Bauer stroller and Baby Gap apparal (things from Kohls or Target “look cheap” she said).

I am not criticizing her, after all I am quite the spender but the kids didn’t ask for an Eddie Bauer stroller. I am not even sure if a stroller is a necessity (again, I don’t have kids).

Does that cost include child care or income loss from a stay at home mother?
