    I mean, I never had a kid, but $500 a month for a year sounds like it would shore you up for all early expenses

      When I was in high school, many years ago, I remember posters in classrooms that stated

      “It costs $800 a month to have a baby. How much is your allowance?”

      I don’t know how that came up with that figure, but inflation has made this number much higher by now

      it helps but $6k isn’t enough for a year in Flint, MI. That 500 doesn’t even cover rent.

        This is a supplement… Not income replacement.

        It’s not supposed to. Wtf you having a kid if you can afford rent!?

        It’s supposed to help with formula, diapers, shit like that.
