According to a new government study released this week it costs about $221,000 to raise a child from birth to age 17. That breaks down to about $1,083 per month for one child.
We have three. That’s $3,249 per month.
Actually, I think my three girls are priceless.

I have to say I've always found these survey's a little silly. I'm going to have housing and transportation expense regardless of whether or not I have children, or how many I have. And so much of the expense is totally optional - each family prioritizes where to spend their money differently. I know they're averaging, but it seems like a really wide margin nation wide!
shoot...my daughter and son are lucky they get $50.00 spent on them...
