                  Cost to Raise Child in US Continues to Rise

   by Deborah Block

   The cost of raising a child in the United States continues to rise. In
   its latest annual report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says
   middle income families with a child born in 2013 can expect to spend
   more than $240,000 before that child turns 18. And sending that child
   to college more than doubles that amount. VOA's Deborah Block visited
   with a couple with one child in Alexandria, Virginia, to learn if the
   report reflects their lifestyle.
