As a bean counter, I'm also a budgeter. Have been planning on a retirement in 2 years and have felt very comfortable with the numbers I've accumulated here, as well as other places, and experience.
The wife tossed a wrench into it the other day saying she'd like a kid.
She's younger than me, no kids. I've 2 that are at college but have no problem with another.
I've seen school threads, etc, but if anyone can help a dazzed bean counter with some of the additional costs, I'd appreciate it
Costs here in the states I know (expensive!) but school costs, extra-curricular activities, etc, I don't have a clue

Thanks Rowdy ,
We met with a Doctor and it looks like a little one is definately in the works.
I'm still working on a 2-3 year plan for living full time in Thailand, and the numbers help in potential budgets!
Thanks Again

Bit more than that if you want class sizes under 40 though isn't it? That price sounds like one of the 45-in-a-class places.
Libraries gave us power, then work came and made us [url=http://linux.com/]free[/url]. What price now for a shallow piece of dignity?

Most day to day stuff is relatively inexpensive here (compared to the west). Schooling is the key - you can put them in a cheap Thai style school but as stated above the classes will be full and the teaching limited.
Better schools in Hua Hin costs around 80-100k per year (including the extras) but again they are not international standard although there is an English curriculum.
All depends on the perceived standard of education you want really and how hungry the child is for learning.
