[quote=Anonymous]Spending money on work clothes Me: $500 per year H: $1500 per year (he wears suits and we typically replace 2 a year, plus 2 new pairs of work shoes and random shirts) + about $1500 for the year on dry cleaning. Child care including afterschool care: $18,000 a year plus all the associated "things" that add up like school party contributions, random fees, etc, which is likely another $500 a year for full time daycare for a toddler. Meals eaten out (or takeaway) that you do because you are too busy or too tired (not incl. date nites) Usually about $75 a week, so around $4K a year. Money spent on commuting or parking, etc. $1000 a year for parking at the Metro + gas to drive there at another $1000ish for the year. Also yard work and maintenance (I currently do my own mowing weed whacking etc.) None. We still do this ourselves. = about $28,000 a year HHI is $197,000[/quote]
