Raising a child can be quite expensive. This article compares it to someone taking all their cash, setting it on fire and running to the bathroom. Sure, that may sound like an exaggeration, but when you add up the costs of childcare, baby clothes, toys, teacher’s clothing, equipment, transportation, and tuition, it’s easy to see how true that statement is.
According to this Guardian article (based largely on 2016 data), it’s something like £231,843 from the start of school to age 21. These numbers make me wonder how I’m going to make ends meet over the next few years, given that I have two children of my own.
Fortunately, I have managed to save a little on childcare costs. In order to take care of my children, I have been running my home business and have managed to create an online blog to meet my son’s needs. This has saved me a lot of money on childcare over the years. I don’t think my husband realizes how much money we have saved because I have stayed home for so long. Childcare costs are often the highest between the time I start serious schooling and the time I turn 4. Click here for more info
