  • Happy Mother's Day.
    Being a mother is more expensive than you think!

    The costs of being a mom.
    If you suspect your kids are eating you out of house and home, you might be right! Here's how those numbers break down:

    • Housing, including mortgage interest or rent, utilities, furnishings, and property taxes: $107,340.
    • Food, including groceries, dining out, and school lunches: $41,490.
    • Transportation, including vehicles, insurance, repairs, and public transportation: $38,670.
    • Clothing, from diapers to dry cleaning: $12,720.
    • Health Care, including out-of-pocket expenses and insurance not covered by an employer: $17,250.
    • Child Care and Education, including day care, babysitting, tuition, books, and supplies: $38,220.
    • Miscellaneous, including personal care, entertainment, and reading materials: $33,690.
    • Total: $289,380.

    If this doesn't curb teen pregnancy, I don't know what else would.
