[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP of your salary does t cover the childcare you want, why don’t you just stay home with them? That was our situation - my paycheck didn’t cover a nanny for two, and daycare for two would have been my whole paycheck, so I just left and stayed home. [/quote] Kind of shortsighted since it’s a temporary thing, if their HhI can cover...[/quote] Agreed. Why sacrifice your entire 401k, social security, and upward career mobility for a couple of years when money is tight?? Much worse financial decision than what OP is proposing. [/quote] Yup. If OP was on the fence about wanting to stay home ignoring finances, I could see this tipping you over the edge. But if you don’t prefer to stay home, I wouldn’t take yourself out of the workforce because of the short term financial issues.[/quote]
