sorry bub burden of proof is on you i will be waiting for youtubes of your healthy £8 baby (lol get it baby weight joke plus money joke)
actually buddy i bet that i
could raise a healthy baby on less than it costs to run a car, proof that i
could can be purely theoretical. could is about ability, "could i use the bathroom?" heh SHOT DOWN
cost of running a baby:
fuel costs roughly half a small jar of peanut butter a day (peanut butter is quite close to a complete food) (just ignoring breast feeding) works out to approx $10 a fortnight (i can go for about 3 days on only peanut butter and water, though i'm not growing i'm easily 5 times the size of a baby (it costs $10 for a kg of peanut butter. you can get it cheaper as well)
maybe clothing? near negligible
medical bills possibly but that would mean it's damaged to begin with
heating shelter power utilities etc all come under my own
COST OF A BABY IF FOOD IS BOUGHT: ~$260
let's triple this just for fun. it costs my flatmate $1200 a year for car insurance alone. i don't know what the minimum amount for insurance is, but you've got a warrant and rego which are also necesary. $10-$20 a week in petrol money means it's easily cheaper to raise a baby than to run a car. food use undoubtedly increases while you're growing but i think you could still safely scrape by on $10-20 worth a week
