You can never fully add up the *cost* of raising a child...
sure , we can put a *price tag* on it but when you really think about the **COST** of raising a child....
can you add up the heartaches, the joy, the tears, the hugs, the love, etc ??
I know I can't.... It may be alot of money, but I am blessed and I can't put a *price* on my kids...
I wouldn't trade what I have for any amount of money or for anything else for that matter :-)

I would say raising a child can cost a fortune. You have to be prepared for not only 18 years of clothing, food, necessities, but then there is schooling, weddings, etc.

I have had that choice and declined. I realized that the cost of raising a child is about equal to that of the cost of owing a Rolls Royce or a Bently. I chose the car because it needs less maintenance and I would be a better car owner than a parent.

i would say;
you never have enough money to raise a child..Even if you were worth millions....They cost more then you could ever imagine,but you always find a way to make it work.

I would say that with the endless mounds of diapers,formula,wipes,bottles,juice,food, infant educational toys,clothes...rasing an infant approximatly cost l0,000.00 dollars.That does not include all the medical bills,cost of clothes,cost of schools...but you know what I wouldn't exchange it for anything in the world...

You'll spend every penny you make housing, clothing, feeding your child and if there's anything left you'll spend that on the child because you love him/her so much!

Just add everything up.
Crib.
Thousands of diapers.
Clothes.
Bottles.
Formula.
Thousands of jars of baby food.
Bibs.
The list could go on and on...
