School Fees

[Ninja'd]

Uhm... You don't need to get one every month. Or you have the most tenacious little sperms in history.

Having snipping tools near my junk is almost as scary so it keeps getting delayed.

They are expensive sure, but after your first child, you wonder how you ever lived without one.

And once you have one, you want to have another and then another? .

With these costs, it seems like it's better to not have kids and instead drive a Lambo in my 40s.

We don't know actual figures but from looking at some web sites, it is safe to add 1200 to 1500 rands per month for extra-mural activities.

Lol, we choose pvt schooling for high school. Btw, all 3 kids will / have attend pre-high school education at a guava-mint school. We are fortunate to have excellent, govt pre-high school education in our part of SA.

The problem often is that you can't get your kid's into the good private high schools in grade 8 unless they attended one of the 'preferred' feeder schools which are also private schools.

That's one of the reasons we started private school from pre-primary.

Even government schools favour kids who attended good private primary schools when filling applications for high school. It's not right but that's how it is.
