When your kids are in bed, asleep like the angels they are.

I want you think of think about this.

A  Vancouver Financial Planner has come up with the number it costs to raise a child today.

 

If you’re in a relationship and thinking about having a child listen up… by the way we married people call you D.I.N.K's.

They yearly minimum cost for raising a child in Canada is ….This is minimum remember, food, shelter, clothing that's it…

 

 

$15,000 dollars the 1st year

and $12,000 dollars every year after.

 

 

So we take 12,000 times it by 18

 Tack on the extra 3 Grand for the 1st year,that works out to…..

 $219,000 DOLLARS!!!!!  That is the bare minimum cost to raise a child this day and age,

That’s just food, shelter, and clothing!

 

Forget about karate class, soccer, base ball, hockey jees that’s 4 grand alone, and tack on college tuition after 18, and allowance… ALLOWANCE!!! Why am I allowing you money from my finances when you’re the greatest drain on them!!!! AAAHHHGGG!!!
