Well, I bought a bike when the kids were 5 and 7 - so you shouldn't let starting a family stop you. But hey, all the best :niceone:

According to a Survey or something of the sort done, 1 Child will cost you $250,000 to raise to the age of 18 from birth.. Imagine how many bikes that could be if you have 10 Children!!! :drool::rolleyes:

Ah ha! Found it :)


Cost to Raise a Child is $291,570

The U.S. Agriculture Department says the cost to raise a child to age 18 is $291,570. Reuters reports that this figure does not include the cost of childbirth or college.

The estimate covers food, shelter and other necessities for a child to age 18, said the annual report by the Agriculture Department. The figure does not include the cost of childbirth or college.

Housing accounts for one-third of expenditures on children. Food accounts for 16 percent, the same as child care and education, said the Expenditures on Children by Families report.

Last year, the USDA estimated it would cost $269,040 to raise a child born in 2007 to age 18, including inflation. The USDA has made the estimates since 1960, when the estimated cost was $25,300. The department said it planned to have an updated "Cost of Raising a Child Calculator" on the Internet soon.

I wouldn't trade my 3 (and 3/4) kids for a brand new MotoGP bike each year, no fucken way.

People that use the excuse of kids being expensive to raise as a reason not to have them is seriously deluded.

For a few years there I had a different bike every six months, doing 18000km on ecah before moving onto the next. Since having kids, I reckon I'm saving 25K a year in bikes and have more fun.

Funny old world aint it.....

[SPman]

Yep - priorities change according to where you are in your life.....

Yeah, but your kids are little.
While I love my Mutant Troglodyte Spawn dearly, I wish I'd never had them: it's far too much worry and stress, and there seems to be very little joy in it these days. And they had such promise when they were small.. What have I done to wreck them?

Anyways, NC - it's your decision, but I too "has sads". Please keep hanging around here, Ruth.

Awwwww that's sad to hear Ruth. How come?

Let me just be the first to say, WTF!

Doesn't the government hand you that sort of money when you have one anyway?

Assuming you were on the DPB from birth till 18, you'd collect about 280,000 in benefits from Uncle Key.

I wouldn't. I have too much european ancestry.

[SPman]

Assuming you were on the DPB from birth till 18, you'd collect about 280,000 in benefits from Uncle Key.Aaahhhh - but they wouldn't give it to you all at once. They dole it out, year by year....(like the ACC used to budget on, and still do)
