[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gas for me: $125
Gas for DH: $25
Van Pool for DH: $250
Child care: $875
Random workday purchases: Probably $100
Work lunches: Probably $100
Happy Hour: $50
Family Friday dinners out, Saturday lunches: $500
Entertainment: festivals, shows, museums, etc.: $50

So about $2075 easily. I’m sure I’m missing something. I would have probably bought some new spring work clothes rather than the extra leggings & shorts I got.

Groceries have increased $800 to about $1200. That also includes tips & delivery fees.

Toys & gifts have also gone up... more purchases of stuff to keep my 3.5 yo busy, more gifts / care packages sent to others.

moving forward employers should be ready to pick up this tab or allow 100% WFH

Why wouldn’t they just cut your pay by that amount if you exercised the work from home option arguing that park of your compensation was already an offset for those expenses. Same as with employers that pay HCOL salaries to remote employees residing in LCOL areas considering adjusting down. Lots that has to be thought through when this calms down and I wouldn’t just expect it could only break your way. [/quote]
