Kids Are Priceless — Which Is Good, Because Nobody Can Afford Them

LendingTree— Seventy percent of Americans now admit the obvious: it’s not that they don’t want kids, it’s that they can’t afford the starter pack. When raising one human runs $300k before college, “maybe later” turns into “never mind” real fast.

Potty-Mouth Teddy: When “Smart” Toys Go Full Stupid
