[quote=Anonymous]When I had 2 kids in daycare we were paying over 45k/year. Now, we stagger schedules so we do not need any before/aftercare. Now we spend maybe 15-20k/year for summer and break camps plus activities including 1 in a travel sport. So it’s definitely way cheaper. Most families don’t need an au pair or thousands of dollars in tutoring. I do have a kid with some SNs but I have good insurance that covers a lot. We’ll have to up our dental insurance to cover orthodontics soon and we’ve been increasing 529 contributions so the expenses don’t totally go away. But it feels like we have more control over them (e.g. we so fairly basic rec and specialty sport camps over the summer, nothing too fancy). I love not having 4K/month automatically earmarked just for daycare. [/quote]
