Not sure why people think this is expensive. 

Currently I have a 2TB plan and my wife has a 2TB plan - after all why would you share a login? This just creates issues.

If I opt for a family plan, I save money.

Sure, we lose 2TB between us, but as I am nowhere close to that it isn't a problem. Should it be, then we can always split again.

This way I can also invite my children to have their account if they want.

Struggling to see the downside. 

Would be great if they offered 4TB on the plan, but if you are not using 2TB now, why would you even want 4TB?
