That funeral number is bullshit. You can't dig a hole and throw somebody in for less than $15k. Baby deliver is also wildly off.

Guess I'm saving tons by not having kids and remaining a bachelor.

Really gives an idea of why- apart from the inevitable funeral, and healthcare (after avoiding even diagnosis up until issues compound into emergencies) most of these things are if anything, in decline in the west.

How many people plan for all these things nowadays? Paying $68k (USD no less as Canadian.. hell) for pet care is wild, sounds like a great way to stay in poverty for anyone not earning a six digit income. And having kids, saving up for their college, hell, how many people nowadays think they'll retire or ever own a home?

And $36k for a wedding? Maybe once upon a time in the west, bigger weddings might have made sense- nowadays with that price, may as well just kneecap the couple before the honeymoon to get the sentiment across. But really, unless I were a multimillionaire I wouldn't get near such wasteful spending.

271k for cars?

Millennials have moved on from killing luxuries and are now going for the real economy as a whole for some reason. Whom can fathom the Millennial brainpan?

So is this the total cost for two people? And is that the average lifetime earnings of two people also?

Two Children

Lol, lmao

America's so rich you need 3.4 million dollars to live.
