[quote=Anonymous]Daycare - zero, grandparent lives with us and provides free childcare Commute - maybe $60/month on a metrocard, pretax? But that's going in to the office, which I don't do right now. zero. Lunches out - probably $200/month. This is the big one. DH spends closer to $400/month, it's a mess. Clothes - this is a wash. I spend on something either way, suits or workout clothes or "how do I have nothing medium-casual to wear to brunch?" Coffee/breakfast - $50/month Dry cleaning - zero takeout - we order takeout 1-2/week either way Parking - zero, bus commute Cleaning service - I wouldn't drop this if I SAH, so it's a wash. I know this is an eye opening exercise for some, but it's not for me. All that said, I still want to go to part time because I just don't want to work this much for the rest of my life. I just can't tell myself it's to save our family money, because in my case it wouldn't.[/quote]
