Whats the actual cost of raising Somali kids to adulthood in the West?

[God Save The Queen]

People quote figures upwards of $250,000 per child. I believe that is a very conservative figure and the actual figure might be even higher than that. Our population is quite different from the average white household of 4. We at the most have 4 kids or more in the West and that figure might slightly dip but it wouldn't still make a large difference.

I’d guess 320 thousand is dollars for a middle class lifestyle

You probably save money compared to adaan kids, no music lessons, no organized sports fees, ect.

Just feed em, throw those little abdis a ball and a quran and hope for the best.

This figure is extremely exaggerated. A quarter million per child until adulthood would suggest that most Somali parents are multi millionaires.

This is middle and upper class levels
Most somalis live in ghetto and lower class level

Most Somali kids are/were raised by taxes, you guys included.
