I estimated the cost per year for our 3 years old in South Korea. Compared what government estimations are we are about 20% below, probably we are kind of frugal.

Category	KRW/year	USD/year (≈1,400 KRW/USD)
Food (home)	882,000	~630
Kindergarten	8,400,000	~6,000
Clothes	420,000	~300
Toys	180,000	~130
Flights	750,000	~540
Eating out	720,000	~510
Seasonal items	100,000	~70
Miscellaneous	100,000	~70
Books / educational items	50,000	~35
Birthday / celebrations	50,000	~35
Health / supplements	50,000	~35
Total	11,702,000	~8,360

Oh and if he was Korean the Kindergarten would be even half of that cost.
