| Why is HHI relevant? It costs the same for everyone, unless you get a voucher. |

They might want to know what rough percentage of income people are spending on daycare. It's a valid question |

In DC most seem to range between 2400-3400/ month for infants. Insane right??

I have a high HHI even for this area and I can’t fathom paying this much. There’s truly no need. You are bad with money. |

Why insane? $3400/month is a bit over $21/hr. Cheap. Also, infants are a lot of trouble. |
