The Week contest — New generation
What should we call the new batch of costly kids?
Last week's question: The average cost of raising a child born in 2013 will be $245,000, not counting college costs. If the people who lived through World War II were the Greatest Generation, and those who grew up in the 1980s were Generation X, what should we call the new batch of costly kids?
RESULTS:
THE WINNER: Generation Y-O-Y
