Affording a Large Family: 15 Ways To Make It Work

Rumor has it that raising a child through the age of 17 costs two hundred thousand dollars. That’s $200,000…which is a lot of zeros.

Want to send them to college? Better get used to living in the poor house.

People, I have seven children. Count them…on two hands. That’s nearly 1.5 million dollars just to get them out of diapers and braces!

So how do we afford to raise a large family, especially in a failing economy?

I recently posted about this over at Stacy Makes Cents while Stacy was on blog maternity leave, resting up from growing her own family.
