Disagree for two reasons. One, kids deserve little but a loving home and a few educational toys. Giving them everything they want is recipe for building a little monster.

Two, for beter or worse, govts subsidize families to the detriment of the single. When the wife and kid arrive, you'll get a ~$500 a month tax break, enough to pay for another bedroom and diapers. The total cost is much less than I'd imagined, especially if you avoid buying all the junk thats expected.

I get where you're coming from, but I'm thinking like, college, multi-lingual private schools, a dad that takes time off of work for the sake of time off of work.

Toys are nice too, but we're totally covered. This kid won't know boredom until he's 60.

I really wish I could simply buy an extra bedroom for $500 per month. But I'm afraid I'm really going to have to move.

That's if you live in the US :)
