According to The Motley Fool, an investment newsletter, the costs of having a child are going up.
“Higher costs for transportation, child care, food, and education mean raising a child born in 2011 will cost a middle-class family $235,000, up $8,000 from the previous year. Throw in paying for a college degree, and it’s easy to see why some parents feel they can’t save for retirement. But don’t neglect your own financial well-being. Only begin saving for your kid’s college once you’ve calculated that you’re saving enough for your own retirement.”
