I joined to unload all my kids' stuff. I've seen clothes, toys, strollers, and many more for kids. You can ask for something particular as well. Find Freecycle in your area.

If current trends continue, couples are going to start hitting the age ceiling pretty soon. Heh! :) It helps to be ready financially, but at some point, our bodies start to give way, too.

I mean--the money is going to leave my account anyway...I might as well know where it's going so I can potentially do something about it. We're going into it understanding that kids will be expensive, but that there any many ways to make them less so... I’m not scared of the spreadsheet.

But as you rightfully point out, it doesn't mean they "don't exist." They are very much a part of the sum total expenses for our baby, a number I don't even want to start wrapping my head around. :) Very true–most of those were pre-birth purchases, so you won’t see them here.

I am with Hank, I am not so sure I would want to know what I have spent on my two kids in spreadsheet form. But you have inspired me to think otherwise.
