Bringing up a child and an average home cost about the same

Raising a child now costs more than the average UK house according to new research from Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society.
From birth to leaving university at age 21 it costs parents £140,398 to feed, clothe and school their children.

This compares to the £137,800 cost of an average home according to the most recent Halifax house price survey

does the "price" of kids put u off having them!?

do u thing theres much truth in the figures?

Not really. Money is a tool.. But a life is a precious thing in which you have a part of for the rest of your life.. If money didnt exist and we live to better our selves then to be quite honest to have a child is a splendid thing all you have to do is believe that its priceless and at the end of your life make sure your child benefits cause then you would have nothing to worry about..

Wasnt this announced year's ago??

probably was matty. but with inflation on the up, and the cost of living too, the topic has been brought to light again, taking into account the rises in the above..
