[quote=Anonymous]This is a weird framing. Are you asking how much we spent on childcare and related expenses? I guess there are tax consequences and stuff but to rough it out: Daycare was around $2k/month for each kid (I have 2, 3 years apart), for four years until PK3. So, $192,000 over 7 years. During that time I made about $175,000/year (less at the start, more at the end), so by spending that $192,000, I was able to make around $1.2m. I still spend around $800/month now for aftercare and days-off care for both kids, FWIW. But again, that enables me to make much more than I spend. [/quote]
