I saved tons of money on kids clothes and toys shopping at thrift stores. He’s right, they really only wear things for a season and they normally grow out of them rather than wear them out. I shopped/looked often and only picked the nicest clothes and brands. My offspring were always the best dressed.
Kids arent expensive, the parents are expensive. A kid goes to school for $50 a year, you feed them a portion of what an adult eats until they reach their teens. Clothes can be bought at second-hand stores or even from family and friends. College is expensive but isnt college a waste these days? I have seen many videos of people with degrees fired on the spot or unable to find a job. You only need a degree for a teacher, lawyer, engineer, and doctor. The rest can be learned through experience.
I totally agree with you. I'm surprised to see so many people saying that kids are expensive. maybe it's just the location though.. where I live. No cost for public education, or you get credit for homeschooling. All of the clothing is either gifted or second handed. Even toys or work out gears... All of them are second handed. No point of buying new stuff cuz they grow out of them so fast. College fund, we save government child care benefit credit. Which is not a lot but for 17 yrs probably we can save up to about 60k and that's NOT counting compound interest. With conservative interest rate it will still be more than 100k. That all will be from government credit for having children. Anyway.. So far I Made money not spent money. And come on, they are the best !!
I agree with you. I think this is just a popular thing to say. Maybe if you factor in a lot of medical issues or something, but a run of the mill child is weirdly not that expensive. Theres also the question of "when" the costs come up. Diaper days are probably up there, but then it's years until college
I don't know whats more sad is this only has 14k views in a year and there will be people having unplanned kids not even prepared and never watched these types of videos.
After the cost is revealed in the beginning, I started sneezing. I kept sneezing for a good 10 seconds and i missed half of what Kevin said. That's when i knew i don't want children.
Depends on location, where you are in life etc. Costs would be healthcare for the kid. housing for the family, your income etc. Cus my country, getting a home is expensive but doable, healthcare is good and govt subsidised, meaning you can use your own insurance to pay for the baby. As always, it depends on your income, higher income > more affordable.
I'm happy the way .... I'm 25 going on 26 . Single no kids and planning to stay that way for the rest of my life😊 focusing on pursuing my art talent and somewhere along the lines getting in shape and being debt free and have no depressing expenses. Life is amazing!!!!
He wasn't struggling but he was trying to save the money so that he can reinvest in his venture and he didn't sold his company back then after selling it he got rich instantly !
I like Kevin but if gonna make these videos I don’t just want a little story and two facts, do like a ten minute one with ins and outs tbat is interesting maybe goes into each category. Kinda sick of these 2 min videos
You actually don't have to pay for their education. Degrees are not a requirement to have a successful life, many people such as tradesworkers do not need a college degree. Parent's are not required to shell out 100k for a useless degree.
He probably had some money not as much as now. But when you pay alot for stuff that didn't really get used much, it's a waste. The boy probably wore pink stuff when he was a baby to toddler age i reckon. Remembered my cousin got this expensive converse shoes, he wore it a few times only, after a year he wanted to throw out since his feet grew and it was too tight. But his mom felt like it was a waste since they were 9/10 condition so it was given to me.
My parents didn’t help me. It forced me to choose a reasonably priced college and I made sure to get my money’s worth with each class. I’ll help pay for my kids food bills, I don’t want them to starve. But education is a personal investment, not a family one IMO
Austin Hannemann I agree. Such an outdated tradition that made sense decades ago but not in the time we live in today. You want to see your money burn before your eyes? Send an 18 year old to college to get an “education”. Let them make financial decisions for themselves and learn from those decisions. Made sense back then but not now.
The cost listed in this video is so low, the average cost to raise it child to 18 is average cost of $1 million with the cost of inflation and their education.
Has he never heard of a thrift store? Once upon a child has shirts for like $3. 10 shirts 10 pants for a season and you've clothed a kid for under $100
I just buy all used if I can. 1/2 off day at consignment or thrift sale. Then you resell it and make some back! I prob spend less than 500$ a year on clothes, shoes, coats everything for two kids a boy and girl that get to wear cute gender specific clothes.
But if everyone saves money by not having kids, who will buy your products, Mr. O'Leary? Who will work for your companies? This video (and man) are a great example of how " the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils." (1 Timothy 6:10)
Kevin is the only person who’s more concerned about the cost of a kid rather than the joy and memories you build with them. What a shame. Money is the root of all evil
It cost as much as you can afford, have seen estimates that exceed a lot of people's yearly income. 30,000 a year for college b.s. if you only make around that .
This is ridiculous. It doesn’t cost that much. Buy used clothes by the pound. Kids don’t need a million toys. Feed them what you eat. (After they’re stop breastfeeding) & home school them.
@@countmichael Yeah, even my undergrad and grad professor complained about written grammar. Post graduate school my efficacy to self check my written grammar became somewhat better. But still not one of my strong suits. interestingly enough my grammar suffers even in my Spanish, Portuguese, and German when i write. My dialect however seems to be impeccable. I suppose it has to do with the fact that I think a lot faster than i can write. Who knows, thanks for catching my grammar issue. In this case i beleive is was a typo, because i was typing on my iPhone. Olympic lifting has really left my manual dexterity to suffer. Anyway michael I do not plan to home school after retiring at 30 from some lucky financial investments i made and subsequently returning to work because of the boredom of being home all day I have understood i would never put my kids through that. Anyway thanks for catching the grammar issues!
Look, I invested in you. Right kid? That means you’re inevitable to give me a royalty on every cent you make. I want a 25% return on every dollar you make. In return, you can say your Dad’s Mr Wonderful
Yes they don’t know brands at early age . If you raise them to be entitled of course they’ll be expensive buying new clothes for babies it’s a waste of money we don’t have it’s best to spend money in their health and food than toys and clothes
I wonder how the son feels knowing his father felt unlucky to have him since he couldn't use the older sibling's clothes lol (no hate against O'leary, it was just a funny way of putting it)
And when those kidds get old , they need alot of diapears. Or when you put them in a caretake home. Yeah, the young people have to work their budd of to keep them on medication. Yeah , old people cost alot of money.
Kevin the type of dude to ask for 20% equity in his child’s future for the cost of raising them
Cartoon cave don't forget his royalties lol
With a 5% annual dividend
With the option to take over managment in the event of mismangment aswell as liquidation of assets during closure
Uncle Kevin: my children, you need to pay 1% fee for licensing of the O'Leary name brand.
and the right of buying 20% additional equity at the same price
Lol “you have to pay for their upkeep” - take those kids to the mechanic every once in a while, make sure they’re running properly
The doctor is a people mechanic
😁🤘🏼 right
Above all else, remember, marriage is a contract and so are kids.
Marriage is a co-op and kids are liabilities
Do you know how many sad older single guys I've worked with that regretted not having a family and feel alone?
Wait what? If u said marriage is a contract then dont do it lol
Do you know how many sad older not single guys I’ve worked with that regretted having a family and STILL feel alone?
Your wife and child can cost you probably up to a million dollars 😁🤔
Why is the department of agriculture estimating the cost of being a parent that doesn’t make any sense
Noah Bauserman Because people = livestock .... duh
Rubicon B in politics and Bureaucracy absolutely
Because it's no just a company dedicated to agriculture, they are an financial entity too
Probably cus the job got passed around till it landed on their laps. Then no choice gotta do some work.

@@dancer1 off with their heads
Just have a cat as your own blood
I’m too selfish to have kids. I like spending my hard earned money on myself, and my wife. A kid just gets in the way.
Same bro
Having kids is spending it on yourself, unless you count raising them as a negative but most people don't
Unless your kid becomes a bill gates
@ErikGotta take chances
goodwolf R T his name is vagina conno
People ask me when will I have kids? I tell them, when I win the lottery
That's actually smart advice doe 😂
If you don't have money and have kids, don't complain to us or the government. live with your decisions.

Honestly when I was in elementary school I had an idea that kids cost as much as a house LOL.

In my area, the combined average prices for a reasonable home and raising a single child to the age of 17 is 1.2 MILLION dollars.
I'm happy the way .... I'm 25 going on 26 . Single no kids and planning to stay that way for the rest of my life😊 focusing on pursuing my art talent and somewhere along the lines getting in shape and being debt free and have no depressing expenses. Life is amazing!!!!
So Kevin was struggling financially while raising his kids but still came out rich. Well that gives me hope to know I’ve got plenty of time!
He wasn't struggling but he was trying to save the money so that he can reinvest in his venture and he didn't sold his company back then after selling it he got rich instantly !
Tomorrow isn’t promised tho
Wtf, clothes? No, it’s daycare. We pay 2x our mortgage on that. Clothes are cheap.
Thank you for saying this because clothes are literally cheap, how stingy can you be. This surge in childcare cost is the real issue
"because I didn't think about it" -- key phrase here
I like Kevin but if gonna make these videos I don’t just want a little story and two facts, do like a ten minute one with ins and outs tbat is interesting maybe goes into each category. Kinda sick of these 2 min videos

In India it's very common that second child have to wear the leftover of elder one
😂
Children are so expensive T_T
Huh, Kevin’s actually giving some pretty solid advice here.
Wait, kevin didn’t have any money when he had his second child, really 😯?
He probably had some money not as much as now. But when you pay alot for stuff that didn't really get used much, it's a waste. The boy probably wore pink stuff when he was a baby to toddler age i reckon.

Avoiding kids for a while
Yeah I'm glad I dont have kids yet I cant afford them right now.
You definitely do NOT need to pay for their education
Why
You don’t need to, but why wouldn’t you try to?
My parents didn’t help me. It forced me to choose a reasonably priced college and I made sure to get my money’s worth with each class. I’ll help pay for my kids food bills, I don’t want them to starve. But education is a personal investment, not a family one IMO

bruh
my parent's had 2 children me included and the price for both of us up to 17 years old Is almost the same amount of money my parents make a year
Lol you're delusional
Did you just assume the gender of your children?
Has he never heard of a thrift store? Once upon a child has shirts for like $3. 10 shirts 10 pants for a season and you've clothed a kid for under $100
kevin asked his new born 20 cent royality for every dollar he will make till his money doubled , then 5 cents in perpetuity

Homeschooling costs $ compared to public schools
Not everyone can homeschool
Kevin stop measuring everything with money!! Having a kid is an amazing feeling.
I think u dont understand the reality of children. Regardless of your feelings children cost money ignoring that is lunacy.
