Annandale a couple of toyotas in the parking lot, lots of cheap but healthy meals- we are doing better than so many people, I can't help but be grateful. When I'm not paying for childcare I will feel filthy rich.

How much do you save for retirement and college? Do you give to charity? How much is your childcare bill?
