One thing the recession has not hurt is the number of people having babies. There is a baby boom going on right now.
So now that you’ve had the baby. How do you pay for it? Children are not cheap. Just knowing what it costs can help you prepare. http://www.babycenter.com says:
• The first year alone will cost you an extra 11-thousand dollars.
• By the time the kid is ready to go to college.- you will have spend more than $200,000 extra.
• That’s why you should look for deals. Buying baby cloths at a thrift store.
• Getting a friend or member of the family to baby sit.
• Trade toys with other parents.
• Use the library to teach the child to read.
• And when they go to school - make their lunches.
