Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.

With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

No, you’re just being purposely vague for some reason. And you really want to pay people substandard wages for some reason.

But if you legit can’t come up with any concrete examples and have to fall back on things like eating food, then fine, we can end the discussion.

Yes I am being vague because there are many different ways people cant be worth their cost, and you dont get it because you dont understand business and are not able to do basic logic tests.
