15 most expensive states to raise a kid: report

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:26:57 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (NEXSTAR) - It’s no secret that raising a child can be expensive. From child care, housing, food, and other associated costs, the expenses can rise quickly. Depending on where you live, being a parent can be even more expensive. Using data from MIT’s Living Wage Calculator, personal finance website SmartAsset found that nationally, raising a child costs roughly $20,800 annually. That cost includes child care (which, on average, will set you back more than $9,000), food and housing, healthcare, transportation, and other necessities. SmartAsset reviewed 381 U.S. metro areas to determine how much it could cost for a two-adult household to raise a child in 2023. Unsurprisingly, many of the most expensive cities were in California, specifically in and around the Bay Area. Two of Colorado's metro areas made the top 25 list. How much can you rent with $1,500 in Colorado? Topping out the list was the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley area, where SmartAsset found the annual...

WORCESTER — It is no different than the fall. Same went for this spring. And if they played high school football in the summer and winter, it would probably be identical: Bo MacCormack can tote the dang rock with the best of them.Behind MacCormack’s standout performance, the Boston Junkyard Dogs defeated the Northern Knights, 19-16, in the championship of The League.With its just-completed third year, The League offers full-padded football in the spring, something you cannot get anywhere else in Massachusetts.And while everyone got to showcase their stuff, it was once again MacCormack — the sophomore from BB&N — who stole the show. He finished with 232 yards and a 40-yard touchdown on 25 carries. Unofficially, 200 of those yards came in the second half as the Dogs, made up mostly of BB&N players, rallied from a 9-0 halftime deficit.The Knights did well to bottle MacCormack up in the first half, but it’s not if he will bust out, but when.“It’s kind of ...
