Since the money has been the hot topic of many people, here's something else to think about... Do you really want to become a parent?Reuters reports that a middle-income family can expect to spend $291,570 including inflation to raise a child born in 2008 to adulthood.
one long word can describe this. SHHHHIIIIITTTT!
The estimate covers food, shelter and other necessities for a child to age 18, said the annual report by the Agriculture Department. The figure does not include the cost of childbirth or college.
GREAT! Add another 1 BAGILLION DOLLARS TO THIS TOTAL!
Housing accounts for one-third of expenditures on children. Food accounts for 16 percent, the same as child care and education, said the Expenditures on Children by Families report.
Expenses are highest in cities in the U.S. Northeast, followed by urban areas of the West and Midwest. They are lowest in rural America and cities in the South.
Moral of this story... wear a condom.
