If you've felt like rents in Boise and the Treasure Valley have been going up, you're not wrong. In fact, ApartmentList.com reported that prices are up 3 percent from last year.
The American Farm Bureau Federation just released their annual study on how much it should cost to serve Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people, and they say we can do it for $49.41. How can this be?
We've heard the stats before, that it costs over half a million dollars to raise a child from age 0 to 18. That's the first child.
The good news is, baby #2 is cheaper!
Every so often they come out with a number for how much money it takes to raise a child from age 0 to 18, and that number keeps going up. Kids are expensive, so brace yourself for this amount.... Especially if you have more than one child.
I have three, and I just live in denial all the time and pretend that this number is not real.
