Cost of 2 kids

Just thinking aloud... Having 2 kids.. in Singapore.. is NOT cheap.

For us, here are the basic expenses in a month:

• 1 900g milk - weekly - $43 x4 = $172
• 1 merries pack - every 2 weeks - $16.90 x 2 = $33.80 (one per kid per night)
• 3 mamy poko pack - every 2 weeks - $11.90 x 3 =  $35.70 x 2 = $71.40 (4-5 per kid per day)
• 1 multivitamins - once per month - $55 (GNC or TMC brand)
• 2 probiotics -  
• 1 head and body soap - $23 (Aveeno or Chico brand)
• Toiletries (laundry soap, laundry detergent, bottle cleaner) - $30
• 3 boxes Distilled Water - $5.90x3=$17.70

The above cost does not include:

• Child care (if you need). I looked around and found out that private/international childcare costs $1200++. The ones below the HDB blocks (no aircon) are around $700++
• Nanny (if you need). $500++ plus levy $280++. You have to factor in the insurance and home leave costs also
• Food + juices (~$80 per month)
• Medical (vaccine, consultations)
• Taxi (to and from clinics)
• Recreational activities

School isn't even in the equation yet.

Just math. But anyway.. every moment with the kids are priceless! :)
