"The cost of raising a child from birth until their 21st birthday has rocketed to £222,000, according to a study.

The overall figure is more than £4,000 up on last year and £82,000 more than a decade ago - an increase of 58%.

The most expensive areas to raise children over the past decade remain London (£239,123), the South East (£237,233) and the East of England (£233,363)."

Well, we have spent £444,000 over years. But what an investment!! Remember gran telling me to have children. It will be worth it and they will always look after you in your old age :-D

They're not cheap, John but worth every penny :-)

I guess it's like gettng a dog...if you looked at the costs and the implications on paper it's never a good idea...the reality of course is completely different lol

I have had more than my monies worth <3 <3 <3

Wouldn't change a thing and never thought of the monies
spent, they are priceless. :-)

Well, I love my two so much that they can have the £444,000 interest free. Just decided to open a special account this morning to get the capital repaid. :-D
