[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer is a bear every year for us. Camp + summer vacation with the family. I budget for it all year.[/quote]

Us too.  My kids are way more expensive now than they were when they were in daycare.  DH and I are always talking about how much money we had back then.[/quote]

[b]Seriously? I can't fathom this. Private preschool plus a nanny is $4,700 a month. How in the hell are you worse off later? Did you just have cheap daycare or are you in private?[/b][/quote]

I'm not the PP you're responding to but, honestly, very few people I know are paying for both private preschool and a nanny.  Most of us are struggling to pay the $1500-1900/mo that daycare costs (with the hope that those preschool programs can do the trick for K -- and we're usually right).  I think you're in the minority and will certainly start to save more when you don't have those incredible costs.  Well, except for the fact that you're kids are probably going to Sidwell and will need that extra cash for their class trip to Paris in 4th grade. [/quote]
