Forget Dance Lessons and Soccer Club Dues: Here's Why Your Retirement Savings Need to Come First
It's an after-school routine that plenty of parents are used to: Fetch the kids from the bus stop, whisk them off to sports practice, hurry home for a quick dinner, run back out for music lessons, and then head back home to finish up homework before the "go-to-bed" battles begin.
If this reads like a tiring routine, well, that's because it certainly can be. But it can also be an expensive one.
Many parents spend thousands of dollars each year to enroll their kids in sports, dance, and the many other activities they beg to participate in. And that doesn't even include the cost of actual child care, which can be many more thousands of dollars.
