U.S. to become most expensive country to raise a family in over the next decade

DENVER — Childcare is one of the main costs that could make the United States the most expensive country to raise a family in globally.

By 2035, it will cost more than $82,000 a year to a raise a family in the United States, according to The Global Family Inflation Index recently released by Remitly. Today, that number is just under $56,000 — ranking 13 th in the world.

And with the way health insurance is going, a lot of things aren’t covered like they’re used to be, or just aren’t covered as much. And so, with child healthcare, that scares me for them.”

According to the study, Ireland will closely trail the U.S. at $81,165, followed by Switzerland at $70,6
