MONEY-SAVIN' MAMA: Planning, frugality can trim kid-related costs
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’ll cost my husband and me nearly $235,000 to raise our son, Owen, to age 18.

The figure includes housing, transportation, food, clothing, health care, child care and education (not college).By: Sherri Richards, Forum Communications
