Welcome back. Its time for consumer watch weekend, a new study finding parenthood is pricey. The cost of a baby first year alone, between 21 and 52,000. Joining us today is sean to share the findings from the new study and provide a bit of some tips for future parents and maybe make people without kids feel better about life. Your study found that people often underestimate the cost to raise a baby. What do people say they thought it cost to raise a baby and what did it actually cost . Over half of the respondents assumed that raising the baby in that first year cost 5,000, around there. 20 actually thought it would cost less than 1,000 and their study which was taking the common expenses we see in that first year, taking average pricings, the average price will be somewhere between 21 and 52,000 in that first year. That is probably a lot more money than most people realize. Over 50 , 5,000, 20 , 1,000, and i can tell you it costs a whole lot more than that to raise a kid, in the first year of life. Some items are optional but most are not, extra housing, baby food, transportation, child care, health insurance, out of pocket health costs which people dont think about, those are expenses that you dont really realize. What did you feigned is the greatest expense . The most expensive thing we found is child care and the analogy i draw here, when you and i think of our finances, gas and groceries, but its, at the end of the day, the housing, and child care, it costs a lot of money. A lot of mothers or dads decide to stay home because healthcare is so expensive, it doesnt offset their income. A study found that parents regret spending money on too much on toys. I overspent the first time and now i know what i dont need and what i wont spend money on. A lot of folks regretted not saving for the future. What do you recommend based on the regrets that youre learning . Were finding you need to have open and honest conversation was your partner. Im a young parent, as well, and i recognize the desire to give your kid the best world they can have. But they dont come into the world expecting the best t shirts, but they are hoping for love and attention. Its important for you and your partner to take a step back and think, what does our baby actually need and how can we provide that. What babies really want, what you said, is a stable, financial household and that can be that you are setting apart money for your own Emergency Fund building for your retirement, saving for their college, but building that safety net. Theres College Saving funds that givetax benefit if you put away money for your kids early on but ill say, as a reporter and consumer, i got rope into buying products that promised to make your life easy. With your first child, you dont know what to expect, all of these gadgets that you spend money on. Do you have advice on how to decide what to spend money on and whatnot to . Two things, one, make sure you have good conversations with your partner and figure out, why do we want to buy this . Are we buying it to show off to our friends and validate our selfed or does your baby actually need this. The second advice, talk to experienced parents. You and i can share advice to new parents about what we actually think is useful and what is not and it takes experience to get there. I actually created a blog as a result of overspending for my first child. I feel like i should share everything that i learned with the mistakes i made. Theres a lot of mothers out there that will share their experiences. Thank you very much for being here to talk about this.
