[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom by choice to 2 kids. We live in a TH in a W district. I make $175K. I work from home full time for a multinational company. This allows me the flexibility to work when the kids are sleeping and not have to pay for before or after school care. When the kids were infants and toddlers, I used an in home daycare. Kids are 3 years apart so there was only a short span of overlapping daycare and I saved up for it. My mortgage of $2800 is my only debt. No car payment or student loans. I fully fund my 401K and try to put $250/month per child into their 529s. Kids can be involved in up to 2 after school activities each. We're okay. I wouldn't say I go to bed every night and don't think about money but for the most part each month it works out.[/quote]
