f. Baby!
Dude - be prepared with about $10K for hospital + this/that food/supplements/doctors/"pui yeet" + baby cot and stuff (car seat, clothes, etc.)
Then, monthly about $1K+/-, depending on whether changgih diapers, milk (after off breast milk - breast is best! if possible
),
Note:
These were my costs in 2008 AND my little one was delivered in University Hospital, not SJMC or Gleneagles hehe. In addition, my ex or i tend to carry my little one around instead of "baby strolling" - i find it cumbersome to move around with the dang thing + collapsing it & car space in/out + it's just so much more "warmer & closer" to be carrying my little one around.
Costs continues into $1K+ during kindie
School - er.. no idea yet but should go down during primary & secondary UNLESS going to private or international schools.
Phew.. please note all the above are my humble opinions & simple POV only, not gospel truths yar. My priorities and methods are not your priorities and methods
As a medical student, I would like to affirm that breast milk is the best for a baby. This is because individual mother's breast milk is tailored specifically for your child. Try to avoid formula ones because they are generic formula.Dude - be prepared with about $10K for hospital + this/that food/supplements/doctors/"pui yeet" + baby cot and stuff (car seat, clothes, etc.)

Anyway, your experience gives me an idea on how much expenses I should expect if me and my wife were to have a baby in the future.
