The Dollars You Invest

Why does raising kids today take a ton of money?
   Don't laugh -- Parents don't find it very funny

Yeah, sure, I know: There are art lessons, music lessons
   Swimming lessons, tennis lessons, chess lessons, ballet
Lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, violin lessons and more

And once your kids hit college, you're out a pretty penny, for sure

Yet buried in every one of those dollars you invest
   Is another crucial value that you've failed to address
