Odor added an RBI double in the sixth. The seven runs were the most since a 7-1 win against Cincinnati on May 3.San Diego came in hitting an MLB-low .191 with runners in scoring position, a mystifying development for a team with baseball’s third-highest payroll, considering that b...

15 most expensive states to raise a kid: report

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:10 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...
