I still think thats a bollocks figure
Thats nearly 10 years wages on the average uk wage and thats just for one kid. Im sure they add the entire cost of a three bedroomed house in to that despite the fact that a childless couple would still have a house just not quite as big

Using the salary calculator

Yearly	Monthly	Weekly	Daily

Take Home	£20,553.60	£1,712.80	£395.26	£79.05

So over 18 years, excluding pay rises you'll earn about £360k after tax.

also 360k after tax is not enough to cover 2 sprogs at £220k each and still drink a bottle of wine a night
