How much should be budgeted per year for raising an adopted teenage boy?

Question

I have time, but I'm not sure if I could afford it. How much does it cost?

Answer 1

Food alone for a teenage boy, could bankrupt you~lol!, Just clip coupons, limit the things you pay for and make him get a little part time job for things you dont, like going to the movies..,

Answer 2

Well in American dollars for one teenage boy i would say about 15.000.OO

but you can be thrifty with certain items .

Answer 3

OMG-  No money is never enough!  You just have to usually take it as it goes.  If you budget to raise a child then you will never have one in your house-  baby or teenager
