[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have a combined HHI of $250k and it still feels like a reach: between daycare and student loan costs, it doesn’t go very far. Now imagine we made what a standard American household makes. Unless you get free childcare from grandparents or help with your down payment/education, it is not easy to afford it all. Murica.[/quote] I know some people who live in multigenerational households to try to limit expenses but sometimes it can end up being extra burdensome on the parents if the grandparents also need care when the children are young. They are caretakers of children and parents. [/quote]
