As Prince William and Catherine plan for their first child, we thought we would try to help them out,and examine just how much it really costs us to raise a baby these days.
Now in the UK according to figures compiled by Halifax Bank, it puts the average cost at nearly 13,000 dollars a year,
根据哈利法克斯银行汇编的数据，平均年养育费接近1.3万美元，
that's an increase of 15% from 2007, and that means spending around 145,000 dollars before the child even hits the age of 12.

Now in the US estimates put that figure even higher at 235,000 dollars before the age of 17,that's according to the United States department of agriculture.
美国农业部预计的费用则更高，在17岁之前的养育费高达23.5美元。
Now the total has gone up due to increases in schooling, child care, transportation and housing cost,
由于学费、儿童医疗费用、交费和住房费用上涨，现在这一数额仍在继续走高。
but let's be honest here, the royal couple probably will not have to worry too much about watching the purse strings and Allen somehow I seem to believe that they probably will not have to worry about things like private school tuition or college tuition those kind of things the rest of us have to worry about.

The numbers are fascinating.
