Didn't know whether to file this under Money and Fire or Young Dreamers... but, here goes.
I'm wondering what the rest of the world pays for daycare? We pay $22/day/child. Get 10 days of vacation where we don't have to pay, and the daycare lady takes 2 weeks where we don't have to pay. After that's gone, whether your kid is there or not, you pay. Unless you have a child in school, then it's hourly in the summer or after school. We don't have that luxury yet. So, it averages $440/kid/month for us.
I actually think it's cheap since our daycare lady is great, and we pass the "brother-in-law" test, i.e. he pays over $600.
Ours is private, out of her home. Other churches/"official" daycare providers charge $450-$600+ in this area.
Again, all of these numbers are per child, per month. Please adjust accordingly.
In a couple years this is going to make a helluva extra truck payment/401k/whatever.
Thanks for your responses, in advance.
