For a rough estimate of how much it costs to raise a child to adulthood, we have a new study from BMO Harris. The bank found that each child cost (on average) $795 per month, although some surveyed said that the number was closer to more than $2,000 a month. Of course, nobody really figures on child raising to be so expensive. And it largely depends upon where you live.
