Why are we here?

Recently the South African government calculated that the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years of age could reach R 1 681 470

They also dropped the maths pass rate to 20%

• How did they get to that number?• What are the major expenses?• How do I plan to save?• What if I'm no longer around to

support my child?

Let me show you

Today I’d like to focus on the cost of education.

How some things have changed

In the beginning

At this stage you would have done some pre-planning.

• Furnishing the nursery = R 7 000• Feeding equipment and accessories = R 5 500• Clothing & nappies = R 3 000• Bathing supplies = R 2 500• Baby proofing the house = R 1 500• Travel Gear = R 5 500

Total set up cost = R 25 000

Pre-School

Stay at home parenting or child care?

• Day care or Crèche, expect to pay between R 1450 and R 3600 per month

• Nannies (who don’t live in) cost between R 4000 to R 6000 per month

Quick lesson on inflation • Current inflation rate is roughly 6%, but what does that

mean?
