If you cut the estimate by 75%, down to about $500/mo the argument doesn't change very substantially.

Does the argument change substantially if you cut the estimate down to the price of the standard unit of indulgence, a Starbucks latte?

If the price of raising children becomes arbitrarily cheap, will someone eventually buy the entire market?
