Truly a slice of heaven when consummating
Good idea to bulk bill, cut out the middle man!
Even cheaper if you do the procedure with mates in bulk.
can my dog use this bulk bill? cheaper than a vet.
Is it halal ? The slice, the cut !!
I wouldn't be eating what is cut off.
Delicacy in some CULTures…
Technically vegan though.

Says scalpel free.
Does that mean a Bainbridge knife, or elastrators instead?
It clearly says "no-scalpel", so why the pun?
Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for the prevention of taxpayers! /s
think of the millions saved in welfare ??

That’s called investing in future from gov perspective
I do everytime they land on the toilet paper.
Nah just import them 😬
Most are already imported
If your family is poor they should offer an incentive like in India
In Australia, we do the exact opposite
Make more babies, get a flat screen TV!
That was a brilliant policy /s
@WhyAmICommenting: Can confirm this did happen. Won't say what areas I was working in, but at this retailer, at a specific location, we literally had couples regularly coming in bragging how they just got their baby bonus and so are now buying a PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii or a TV. And all of them of them who said this, fit the stereotypes of unemployed, social housing residents, so on so forth. My colleagues and I did not observe this more than once at each of the 3 other locations we worked at. SO make of that what you will.
@Aus Falcon: To be honest, I have an extended family member who had stacks of kids this way.
Sadly, mostly poorly educated people could ignore the long term cost of children..
@Aus Falcon: yeah growing up when the neighbouring adults would drink they would loudly and openly claim thats why they had so many kids, i think you had to have at least 3 at the time. It would make me feel bad for child number 3 so i'd be a little friendlier to them
Think of the savings to the family courts.
Here for comments
Once again, you came early
It's ok Raj, one day you'll discover humour

You have no idea the physical toll that 3 vasectomies has on a person!

More expensove then not having children ive found. In money and time.
Sure. Having a friend or spouse is more expensive than not having a friend or spouse too.
@Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Sure. And a tent is more expensive than nicking a cardboard box that has been discarded out the back of your nearest Bing Lee.
What if you're the mother or father of Lebron James? Who took his mother and family out of poverty…
Or better yet, just an average child who is able to support their parents in their old age.
Everyone looks at the cost and never the upside.
… once you have kids this is good though
@cheaptech20: Not debating the merits of having kids but the "average" person is fast running out of resources to support aged parents. Few can afford houses with extra rooms etc.
@buffalo bill: Mate, the average person is fast running out of resources to support themselves, let alone past and future generations together.
@buffalo bill: My point is that's not a bad thing. Many successful people come from humble beginnings.
They are if you raise them well.
So if you're spending less than $55k per year on your child you're not raising them well?
@tenpercent: Damn, and here you are throwing that $55k figure I just mentioned right back at me like a master tactician.
Oh wait, I never said $55K. What the actual (profanity) are you talking about?
@Crow K: The comment thread you are replying to went something like this…
lordezekial:
…Save $1,000,000+ in never-have-to-be-paid-for child-rearing costs!
me:
Children really aren't that expensive.
you:
They are if you raise them well.
me (after dividing $1million by 18 years):
So if you're spending less than $55k per year on your child you're not raising them well?
you:

@tenpercent: Maybe it accounts for the bank of mum and dad contribution in 2045, when median Sydney homes are $3-4mil.
@tenpercent: AI Overview
The estimated cost of raising a child to adulthood in Australia can vary significantly, but studies suggest it can range from around $159,000 to $557,000, or even higher, depending on factors like lifestyle, location, and family structure.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Cost Estimates:
LendingTree Study (2025):
The annual cost of raising a child has jumped 35.7% since 2023, with annual expenses (excluding tax exemptions) totaling $29,419, resulting in a total cost of $297,674 over 18 years, up 25.3% from the previous study.
News.com.au:
Analysis by financial comparison websites put the cost of raising a child between $159,000 and $548,000 over 18 years.
InfoChoice:
Estimates range from $12,000 to $30,000 per child each year, depending on age and lifestyle.
Choosi Cost of Kids Report 2023:
The average annual cost of raising a single child is $12,823 per household.
Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS):
In 2018, the AIFS estimated that weekly costs for a middle-income family raising two young children (a 6-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy) was about $340, or $170 a week per child.
Huggies:
One study suggests the cost of raising two children to the age of 24 can reach nearly $900,000, or $450,000 per child.
McCrindle Research:
McCrindle and his team assessed the cost of raising 2.7 children to the age of 24, and came up with a million dollar figure, and $557,013 for one child.
Factors Influencing Costs:
Age of the Child:
Costs tend to increase as children age, particularly during the teenage years.
Location:
Living in a major city will likely incur higher costs than living in a regional area.
Family Income:
Higher-income families can afford more expensive childcare, education, and extracurricular activities.
Childcare and Education:
The costs of childcare, private school fees, and university tuition can significantly impact the overall expenses.
Housing:
Housing costs, including rent or mortgage repayments, are a major expense for families.
Lifestyle Choices:
Families with more expensive tastes and activities will incur higher costs.
Number of Children:
The cost of raising multiple children can be higher than raising one child due to economies of scale.
Tips for Budgeting:
Create a detailed budget: Track your income and expenses to understand where your money is going.
Save early and often: Start saving for your children's future as soon as possible.
Consider government assistance: Take advantage of available government benefits and subsidies, such as the Child Care Subsidy.
Look for cost-effective solutions: Explore options like public schools, community sports programs, and second-hand items.
Communicate with your partner: Discuss your financial goals and priorities as a family.

You haven’t met my kids then?
Expensive when your ex weaponises them. Sad but happens a lot.
Even crackheads can raise a kid. How hard could it be?
Particularly when we have a whole welfare system based around the support, upbringing, schooling, health and development of them.
(Not a negative or positive statement, just not FREE).
Children are like any other investment. If you want to give them the best opportunity be successful in today's world, then yes they are very much that expensive if not more.
Are you sure? $1 million over 18 years is over $55k per year. Are you sure children cost $55k per year? I don't know any parent spending that much on each child.
You gotta feed them at very least. And then they're gonna want clothes, maybe even some toys. Ugh.
Two would probably be that much, three more so, especially if private schooled and/or with medical issues.

It's funny how having children is seen as a massive cost and burden. Actually, not funny at all. Quite the opposite. Explains falling birthrates in developed countries. Children are now seen as hyper expensive pets.
Thanks OP. Awesome timing before my Southeast Asia trip!
Nothing to worry about in Southeast Asia 😉
Not sure if it will help with STDs.
