Some studies have found a difference in costs between raising children of different genders. A study by MoneySupermarket.com found that although boys cost more in toys, technology and pocket money, girls cost more in clothing, footwear, accessories and activities. Overall, it’s considered more expensive to raise a girl who likes stereotypical ‘girly’ purchases and pursuits but, of course, this is by no means prescriptive or true for all.
