1 3 year old in daycare, paying $760/mo. I'm pregnant right now, and really stressing over how we are going to pay an additional daycare cost. 
HHI is around $150,000 gross (I don't know, for HHI, are you supposed to state your gross income, or net?) |

$175K
My children do not have childcare costs as they are in HS. However we do have summer trip costs, orchestra trip costs, private music lessons, increased car insurance costs, braces costs, increased food costs (!) and of course saving for college costs. Count on spending what ever you are spending until they are launched. |

HHI is $58K. |

Go for it. Just quit your job and go on public assistance. |

If you want another, one parent can do the childcare. You'd come out ahead. |
