Ah shoes, interesting! I’m sure kids blow through them as they get more and more active. Now I’m curious t o see how our shoe spending evolves over the years!

Our oldest just started Girl Guides and we’re happy to be paying for that! Seems like a great program so far.

How you enjoy your fall as well!

Thanks Eliza! Yes it very true that the child minding costs that most parents have to pay end up being $10k+ for the year so we are very grateful to have have those additional costs. Hopefully now with the $10/day plan in place in most provinces it helps parents out with this huge cost!

My guys are 8+ years older than your crew. Shoes are our major expense. And we are fortunate to participate in Scouting, I am guessing without those things we would be very similar to your expenditure level. Have a great fall! We are hoping for beautiful leaves and crips air.

However, another caveat, if you need child care, your cost will likely be close to those average figures even if you’re being mindful of your spending. Before our centre received the benefit of the $200/month federal government funding, we were paying $1200/month for our youngest, $850 for our older child. Yet another benefit of you being FI!
