Cost Of Rearing An 18-Year Old, $25,000
By - Staff Writer
How much of an investment
does the average 18-year-old
youngster in Transylvania
represent?
What has it cost his parents
to rear him from infancy to
age 18?
Most parents haven’t the
slightest idea. They don’t think
of their children in terms of
dollars and cents. Beyond know
ing that the outlay at certain
periods has been large, some
times staggering, they have
never thought about the total
cost.
According to studies along
this line, made by the Insti
tute of Life Insurance, the
Agriculture Department and
ethers, the cost varies great
ly from family to family but
is closely related to income.
On the average, about four
years of family earnings are
spent in raising a child to age
18.
The studies show that
where net income is in the
$6,000 to $8,000 range, as it
is with the average Transyl
vania County family, the out
lay per child is approximate
ly $25,000.
Among families in the $12,
000 to $14,000 category, the ex
penditures are in the neighbor
hood of $51,000 per child, it is
found.
On the other hand, those with
low incomes, operating on a
much tighter budget, spend con
siderably less than this.
In most families the largest
single item of expense is
food. The figures show that a
girl consumes about $7,600
worth in the 18 years, based
on present price levels, but
that a boy outdoes her in that
department by at least $500.
For the average-income fam
ily, other major items of cost
are listed, based on the national
studies. They include clothing,
$2,850, transportation, $3,700,
and medical care, close to
$2,000.
Added to this are recreation,
education, housing and personal
care.
Fortunately, these costs are
distributed over the 18 years.
Not so are the medical fees,
hospital bills and other ex
penses in connection with the
child’s birth.
How much does it all add up
to for the 370 boys and girls in
Transylvania county who are
becoming 18 this year?
On the basis of average
cost per child locally, it
comes to a grand total of
$9,250,000. And that is only
up to the point at which they
are ready to enter college.
