I had to pick up an extra 6 hours work a week just to break even with what I was able to easily afford last year. This means less trips out to fun places for the kids and holidays are a big no go. On top of expenses food, bills, house payment there is the 4 payments a year for the kids sport. That’s around $1200 a year for swimming lessons and one sport, per kid.
