[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay home. It's absolutely insane to work for $35k a year and pay daycare $2k a month with aftertax money. You will never see your baby. Babies sleep around 7-7. You do everything anyway. I would suggest hiring a babysitter once a week so that you can take some time for yourself. [/quote] Why don’t you take the daycare expenses out of her Dh’s $200,000 income instead of her $35k share?[/quote] OP here. So [b]after tax[/b] math. 156k (DH) + 21k (me!) = 177k combined after taxes estimated from current paychecks Daycare will be about 26k (2200 x 12 months). I assume a nanny will be more, but considering as more flexible. So, math is that we'd have 151 take home if I work. Or if I don't work, take home is 156k although I don't know how taxes will change with 2 dependents. I'm struggling to see how my working is best financially. I could be wrong here, but I'm personally not seeing it. [/quote]
