Interesting. several of my prior jobs involved me making graphs of statistics and stuff. I like visual representations.

About this particular graphic - it's kind of fun to think about. Obviously there are the things you have to spend money on specifically for that kid like clothes and food, but there's some of that stuff you're paying already like housing (assuming you have space in your home already for a kid).

Then there are cost cutting measures like the "no presents policy" and booby food.

If I had a booby food dispenser, I could like the high life for cheap.

You could also make the child work in a coal mine to pay for it's vaccinations.

I love those types of graphs as well. It's expensive raising a child.

That's a really good infograph.

I've noticed these are becoming very popular lately, especially about the most mundane facts possible...and I really don't understand the appeal... :?
