You're delusional if you think the average person spends $5,000 for the first year of their newborns life. Ask any new parent, or Google it. The average cost of a baby's first year can range from $16,905 to $28,166, depending on factors like location, income, and lifestyle. The main cost drivers are diapers, clothes, food, child care, and health insurance.

The image post specifically stated diapers and clothing.

The post also specifically said 5k ain't shit, and I think that was the actual point.
