Children. You have to love them. Even when they’re getting you thrown out of a fancy restaurant for flinging your $40 steak across the dining room. Even when they’re screaming at the top of their lungs in line at Starbucks. Still have to love them. And believe me these are not the only costs of having a kid.

God Denn, what a terrible, cynical, pessimistic way to look at things. All I’m saying is that my food expense was a lot more $2640 when I was 15. Because I was a fat kid. So here in the Northeast region you’re looking at $277,170, or about the cost of a Lamborghini, to raise your child from age 0-18. That’s a lot of moola. Here’s a cool infographic from the United States Department of Agriculture that illustrates the cost of having children.
