How much it costs to raise a child

Hi everyone,

I spotted this whilst browsing for info on the Junior ISA.
https://www.fidelity.co.uk/investor/junior-isa/cost-of-raising-child-calculator.page

It's a pretty cool infographic on the cost of raising a child. Who knew that raising a child would be the most expensive between the age of 18-21! ;-)

The article is rubbish.
What has it to do with ISAs?

The people who want new parents to panic and start saving with them. Agree that this is rubbish.

Me! as mine are now 22 and 32 and children cost very little to bring up as well. Good manners for example cost nothing to learn.

I read a while ago it's about £100k from 0-18. This was a few years ago though.
