 What was the last estimate on raising a kid until 18? Somewhere around $150,000-200,000? | ||

WAIT! There is confusion!  Is that to mean a preemptive stopping conception 'pull out'?  or.....is that to mean upon delivery.....pull it out yourself? You know.....save on all of those delivery fees. | ||

"Waaaaaaaaaay more than $600!!!!" No kidding! A child born in 2009 will cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars, or about $222,360, to raise to maturity, up a little less than 1% from 2008, the Agriculture Department said Wednesday in its annual report on the average cost of raising a child. http://blogs.wsj.com/juggle/2010/06/10/cost-of-rai sing-a-child-ticks-up/ ...and I've got three. Of course if you can hand-me-down it gets slightly cheaper, and I do mean slightly. But I'm not complaining, it was our choice. | ||

So Frank, are you trying to tell us something? I don't figure you as a person browsing in a Babies Rus store for no good reason.  | ||

Sounds like a lot of the "me" generation. Flame away if you want, but my wonderful son Mike has grown into my best friend, bud and companion rider and I would not trade that for ANYTHING in the world. We do many great rides together and "play" these sport bikes to the max. He on a nice SV1000 Suzy and me on my great 1125R. Please do not dismiss the reason we all exist on this planet. End of rant. Sorry about being serious. I know this thread was done in fun. Bob | ||

+1, Bob. I'd like to think about having a "chip off the ole block" or something- not my lot in life so far. No regrets... | ||

Bob, thats all fine and dandy, I am glad it is working out for you, but personally I feel kids are a curse. I just simply can't stand them. I wouldn't want to bring anymore people into this over populated planet anyway. | ||

To each their own, my daughter is a blessing and I'd spend my last dime on her if I had to. |
