    how much does it cost to raise a teenager?

    I have taken in my friends daughter who is 17 for her senior year. Mother and daughter don't understand that I need at least $300/month. How can I break this down?

      $300.00 a month ? I can't see a problem with that amount.That equals to $75.00 a week.I wouldn't mind living somewhere for $75.00 a week.Does the $75.00 a week cover the cost of utility bills, food, personal effects and outings ?If so, she has it made.

        See article here>>Last year, a middle-income family spent an average of $190,980 to feed, house, clothe and entertain a child from birth until age 18, with the preteen and teenage years taking the heaviest toll…


        At an average of $10,610 each year per child, parents often have to choose between funding their own retirement and their own children. How do you find that balance?>>http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/the-cost-of-raising-a-teenager/
