How much do babies really cost?

They are expensive.

No 18 year old should be considering a child. Full stop.

forget the money, you'll manage.

Sounds like you've made the decision you want the baby, it might be difficult (but not that difficult, I know plenty of people who manage on much less).

The money is the least of your worries, raising a child is a much tougher challenge (but thoroughly recommended).

I think it costs more than £27.50 if you want your baby be secured and protected

My mum brought me and my three children up by herself when my parents divorced. She was earning £8,000 a year from a part-time job and she managed. I guarantee money is important but I would NEVER choose money over the love and attention my mum gave me. I have many friends from university who were from wealthy families who gave them so much 'stuff' but no real attention - they were so much worse off than I was.

If you want the baby, have him. Eat tesco's own brand beans on toast for the next few years if you have to but have him!

Good luck!
