    There are ways… with two kids, we get by using the same sedan we always used but without being able to use the back seat, make the same food we always made but eat less, and spend our luxuries budget (aka video games) on their books and school supplies. Luckily we also get insurance through employer so that covers them, with additional costs of course because who ever heard of universal healthcare?

    Suffice it to say it all sucks, but that’s the US experience. And they wonder why nobody wants kids anymore… at least on the upside, these two kids will know how to make a molotov at an early age!
