@ leading edge re:$233k………I don’t believe that number. Without researching the source, most likely it includes a percentage of home costs (principal, interest,insurance,taxes ETC) for 18 years. All of that, will be paid anyway even if one chooses not to have children. Doing the math……$233k for 18 years is almost $13k per year or over $1k per month. It just doesn’t pass the “smell test”!
