[quote=Anonymous]OP, what will you do for childcare? That is by far the biggest, most shocking expense for new parents. In my area (DC), even with some leave, people will spend between $30-70k easily for the first year. I found that baby stuff itself is not as expensive as you think, particularly because people are dying to give it away. Use “buy nothing” groups or other neighborhood listservs. You can outfit one baby’s room a week based on all the stuff people are tying to give away on mine. Babies really don’t need all that much.
