I own two used cars and, after inflation, both of them combined cost me less than the birth of my first kid.
Used? After 20 years children cost well above half a mil. When you factor in all of the food, clothing, sitters, school, trips, and of course college, you've set yourself back by quite a bit
This doesn't even factor in the monetary value of the parent's time
Way more than any car I’ve bought.
