"so far" & "up to now" can be an adjective ?
I've seen this sentence in a new paper.
"The cost so far of the financial crisis which began five years ago is an extra 28 million people officially without jobs"
In this sentence, for "The cost so far"
Is the words of "so far" an adjective ? I've only seen this words being used as an adverb,but in the sentence, "so far" is describing the noun of "the cost" so I'm very curious about it.
Could you tell me whether or not it's an adjective in the sentence ?
And also, I think I can replace "up to now" for "so far".
Can I describe it as "The cost up to now of the financial crisis" ?
In this expression, is it definitely also "adjective"?
Thanks in advance.

Then, did you mean that the adverbial is a little different with just the normal adverb? It is still a little hard for me to perfectly understand it.Thank you so much,Mr.Micawber
