[quote=Anonymous]Hi all OP here. Thanks for (nicely) letting me know I am being crazy, it helps! Happy to learn that whatever article I read about $600/month for diapers was either an insane typo, a Lucille Bluth moment, or possibly me reading something incorrectly. I’ll avoid gold-plated diapering, and daycare seems about on par with what I expected.

Definitely makes sense to up our savings - we’ve already been doing that on accident the last couple of months due to house arrest, but will talk with the spouse about making it a priority when we return to work as well.

We’ve been together for 4 years, married last September. We’re 27 & 28, will be 29 & 30 in 2022. The idea was that gives us enough time to have one kid and get them into elementary school before we have a second (if we decide to) since it’s unlikely we’ll be able to afford daycare for 2. Plus the two years in the interim gives us a little time to get our lives in order - less expensive housing, buy and pay off a car, save.[/quote]
