What the? Where I live, a kid costs between 350 and 700 per month, 250โฌ monthly tax reduction/month/child by the government not factored in
Oh I'm so jealous. I've got two kids in the United States and it cost almost $3k per month in daycare alone. We're not taking them to an incredibly fancy daycare either!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... Those are the things people need to be reminded of when they brag about the oh so high average wages in the US. Daycare here is 400/Month max. I mean, you can go more expensive of course for some fancy rich-kid-establishment of course.
It could be including childcare, increased housing costs for larger housing, any myriad of things.

This was the article at the top of google. Looks like yeah childcare + housing are the majority of the costs.
