How much does it cost to rase a kid?

Answer 1

They say $100,000 dollars (U.S. dollars) to raise a child from birth to age 18, not counting any college or university education. That assumes you are a good parent and raise your child in a middle-class lifestyle. If you raise your kid in a trailer park or ghetto and feed him leftovers from Taco Hell and let him wear hand-me-downs from his older cousin, you could raise a kid for less money than dogfighters spend raising their pit bulls.
