The Guardian newspaper reckons it costs around 186,000 pounds to raise a child from birth to 21. I don’t know whether this figure starts while the baby is still in the womb or not.
By all rights, it should probably also continue well into the child’s late 20s and 30s. Gen X and Ys are such a lazy bunch of shits, they’ll be mooching around the family fridge, expecting handouts, till their Emo beards go grey.
That, by the way, is the kind of wonderfully misguided crap you can say, when you’re a dad.
