For all new parents, sleepless nights and smelly diapers are two certainties they can expect. For parents of kids born in 2015, they can also add $233,610 to their list of expectations.
That's right. According to a new study by the Department of Agriculture, the estimated cost of raising a child from birth to high school graduation is as much as $14,000 annually.
That's a 3 percent jump from 2014, meaning if you're expecting a baby now, you better save up because a baby born this year will likely cost even more to raise.

What are parents spending on?
- Housing
- Food
- Transportation
- Health care
- Education
- Clothing
What else does $233,610 buy you?
For comparison, for that amount, you could buy a Lamborghini or an entry-level yacht or watch your favorite college football team play.
And for future perspective, the average 2016 college graduate has $37,172 in student loan debt.
In case you're curious, that amount doesn't buy you, however, an apartment in Manhattan, where the average price for a famously-shoe-box-sized home of your own is now $2 million.

Baby gear may be pricey, but teens cost over $1,000 more on average to raise than toddlers. It cost $2,790 on average to feed an 15-17-year-old in 2015, 22% more than the cost to feed a children ages of 6 to 8.
However, depending on what part of the country you live in, and whether you live in an urban or rural setting, the cost varies.
For example, middle-income families in the urban Northeast spent $253,770, while those in the urban Midwest spent $217,020. Families living in rural areas across the country spent the least ($193,020).
Cheaper by the dozen
Good news for big families: Those with three or more kids spend an average 24 percent less per child.

That said, families with just one child spent 27 percent more on average.
