How much does it cost to raise a child until 18 years?|The mail

Calculate what a child costs a beginning, but it may not have an end.What is clear is that, if the calculator is removed, the result adds a money.A minimum of 100.000 euros, without too many extras, until they fulfill the age.The calculation depends on many factors: from whether parents are lucky to 'inherit' accessories (the cradle or the baby's cart) of family or friends, or the elderly children, to preferences by a public or concerted educational center.To make numbers, the study published ten years ago by the Spanish Confederation of Housewives, Consumers and Users (CEACCU) has been updated..

The great disbursement is made before the baby is born.Parents have to have everything prepared: from the crib to the changer or the security chair for the car.The food chapter will depend on whether breastfeeding is chosen (normally, an average of 4 or 5 months, until the mother joins the work after maternity leave).They will then start buying the milk adapted, at an average price of about 12 euros per jar, although there are up to 20 euros.The star game is carried by diapers and baby hygiene products.The product offer has shot, so it will be parents and common sense that will decide where to put the brake.

If the baby is care in nursery, the portfolio begins to have to pay a monthly average of between 118 and 208 euros per full time - dining service included - if it is a public (the price varies depending on the rent) andabout 300 euros in a private.

As the boy or girl grows, the games also get fat.The first respite arrives when the diaper leaves, which allows saving about 50 euros per month (each diaper leaves 0.25 euros, and those of white brand, at 0.15 euros).But immediately other expenses are incorporated, such as a greater disbursement in food and clothes and footwear, because at that ages they remain small in a seen and not seen.Those who can inherit from older brothers, cousins or friends are fortunate.

The beginning of the school stage, usually in the two -year classroom, allows goodbye to nursery expenses, but welcomes other expenses for services such as dining room and transportation.In public centers, the cost of materials and books does not begin until six years (about 30 euros per year, to which the expenses of materials that each center decide) must be added).An annual fee is also usually paid, which varies.And then you can add subschovised extracurricular activities (around 10 or 13 euros per month).The dining service is an expense of 92 euros per month for a usual service (4.6 euros per day).Access to the dining room sporadically costs 5.2 euros a day.In addition, the Basque Government Education Department finances a wide range of scholarships for lower income (61.000 dining room and 124.000 for didactic material).The choice of a concerted center triggers the cost.The monthly fee usually is around 80 euros, to which you have to add about 135 euros of dining room and another 100 if you go by bus.

In education expenses it must also be counted that in summer the kids have to be treated while their parents work.There are families that resort to grandparents, and others that hire caregivers or point to kids to summer camps, urban colonies, activities (music, sport...).It can mean about 300 euros per month per child.

With the arrival in adolescence, clothing expenses grow and, above all, technology.It is the time of the mobile and the computer.Fulfilling age, in addition, does not mean flying the family nest.On the contrary, the delay in the age of emancipation (now almost 30 years old) forces parents to continue keeping their children.The associations alert of covert poverty, that of those young people, without work or with a precarious salary, who cannot leave the family home because they would be dedicated to a situation of extreme need.
