  • How much more do kids cost than an adult? Could easily afford to feed an extra adult or two around the house. How much more is a child?

    Mortgage wouldn’t change. Electricity usage surely wouldn’t change too much as you are still heating the same house to the same temperature. Little more hot water for showers I guess. Food costs us £20 or so a week for 2 adults, so even doubling to 4 people that would be £40, probably less by benefiting more from bulk buying/cooking.

    Do agree clothing might suck, school uniforms are extortionate in the UK. Apparently the average is a few hundred, that is more than all of my clothes combined.






  • I could potentially survive on fishing. Not for fish, I tried that once and sucked. But crabs are stupid. A few times gone for fun and can easily get a few in not very long. If I was having to survive I would probably make bigger/more nets or traps too.

    I wonder about spear fishing, have seen a few pretty large fish in shallow water before around here depending on the tide, some were certainly possible to hit, even if you don’t hit every time that is a lot of food.
