Sharing is Caring!

The cost of raising a child to 17 years of age has surged to over $300,000 as a result of inflation, according to a new study.

Inflation in the U.S. has exploded following the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, hitting 9.1% in June before falling to 8.5% in July.

The Brookings Institution estimates it will cost a married, middle-income couple who have two children $310,605 to raise the younger child, born after 2015, until the age of 17.
