Last time I checked, bringing a newborn to adulthood costs about $1 Million. Each.

Hooey. Source, please.

Foreign Affairs cites the $1 million figure-no idea who came up with that or how-but the $1 million includes lost wages. The stat says $200,000 for each kid, PLUS college costs on top of that. That's asssuming that the parent is obligated to pay the kid's way through college-2 years, 4 years, beyond-???? In the United States, the direct cost of raising a middle-class child born this year through age 18, according to the Department of Agriculture, exceeds $200,000 -- not including college. And the cost in forgone wages can easily exceed $1 million, even for families with modest earning power.">

Following their questions, if I were to have a child this year, I will have spent $941,544 by the time they're 22, exiting college and getting a job worth having.

You still so hot for me to breed? Send the check.
