Reduce the Cost of Raising a Child
The cost of raising a child in the UK is the highest it’s ever been, and it’s only going one way… up! According to researchers, the average cost of raising and supporting a child through university until they’re 21 is a whopping £230,000. This includes education, childcare, food, holidays, clothes… the list goes on.
In the five years, the cost of bringing up children is estimated to have risen by more than £13,000. At a time of pinched pay packets and squeezed salaries, parents are forking out on expenses such as more than £10,000 on clothing, almost £10,000 on toys and hobbies, around £7500 on leisure and recreation, over £74,000 on education… the list and pounds just keep mounting up.
