        If there is one certainty about starting a family, it is that it is going to be expensive. This leads to the premise that, whether you are parent or a grandparent, it is never too early to plan for a child's future. But, despite most of us knowing sayings that suggest that investing in a child's education is 'investing in their future' or 'the best gift a parent can make', few of us know the true cost of raising a child.

      <![CDATA[
        For decades experts in the Western world have warned that the number of 'baby boomers' reaching retirement, combined with increased life expectancy, will place an unsustainable strain on State pensions.
