[quote=Anonymous]When we were DINKs we VASTLY under valued how much we spent going out. Drinks with friends, a quick dinner, dinner and drinks and a show and then more drinks. That type of thing. Oh a quick plane trip here, dinners while there, MORE DRINKS. It was a LOT more than a few hundred dollars a month. When we had our first kid, all those dinners out and happy hours became diapers and formula and mostly DAYCARE. But it wasn't nearly the insane stretch I thought it'd be. Now baby #2 was freaking hard because daycare is so expensive. If you can space them 3+ years, I'd do that to spread out daycare costs. But our oldest is in K now and things feel affordable again. Of course we aren't super rich, make about $180k HHI but have a reasonable mortgage and make smart choices otherwise.[/quote]
