Alright, but what can I get for $1…

According to a recent article on NPR, raising a child costs $222,360 USD. This is of course adjusted for inflation and calculated through age seventeen (17). However, I think we all know that seventeen is not when you really stop funding a child. Regardless, this figure is definitely one of my first thoughts when I think about eventually having kids. Daddy loves you, but can’t afford you just yet; maybe next fiscal year.
