Spending vs. Splurging on Baby

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.” – Eda J. Le Shan

It can also be the beginning of the great bank account drain.  It is no great secret that having a baby costs money.  What was surprising to me was how much money it would cost.

I remember after we found out we were pregnant with our son, I read somewhere that baby’s first year would cost somewhere around $5000 for those who don’t use child care, and near $8000 for those who do.

(I am pretty sure my husband started to have a panic attack at that point.)

I also vividly remember looking back on our first year with our son and knowing exactly what ended up being a waste of money, and what was worth every single penny spent.

I thought this graphic from Baby Authority was fun and I wanted to share it with you.
