If it feels like your kids are bleeding you dry, there's evidence that it's actually true.  

 

A new story in the Walrus suggests the average amount to raise 2 kids until they're 17 is $293,000, even more if the kids attend post-secondary.  

Host Kris McCusker is speaking with the writer of the piece in the Walrus, Chantal Braganza.
