Yikes! This is how much your friends’ kids are COSTING YOU!
Kids are expensive, that’s for sure.
But I bet you didn’t realise that your purse is becoming lighter because of your friends’ children as well as your own!
Yep, that’s right. According to a recent survey, other people’s kids are affecting your bank balance quite considerably.

This is how much your friends’ children are costing YOU
A survey of 1,000 people was conducted by UK card company Thortful and data showed that one friend’s kid will set you back as much as £1230. Wowzers!
This sum includes gifts for baby showers, gifts, christenings, Christmas and birthdays etc. It all adds up!
Here’s the average cost you spend on your friends’ kids broken down:
- 1st birthday pressies – £36
- 1st Christmas present – £39
- Gifts pre-birth – £37
- Presents when the child is born – £35
- Gender reveal – £31
- Christening – £37
- Baby shower – £37
- Easter present – £28
Your own kids are also costing you a lot of cash each year
It’s not just our friends’ kids that are setting back our funds, we’re also forking out a small fortune for our own families!
According to the USA Department of Agriculture it costs parents over £189,000 to raise a child from newborn to the age of 17.
Moral of the story, kids are expensive! But we guess it all works around, as your friends are also splashing out on your kids too.
Good thing babies are adorable, hey?!
