That's the price they've put on bringing up a child.

quote:

A government report released Tuesday says a middle-income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that child through age 17.The report by the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and child care/education costs. The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation.
