[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this for real? You were making 50K, which is closer to what an average american makes compared to what your husband makes. Now imagine that instead of having a husband making 150K, you had one that made 50k like you did. Staying home under that situation would leave you 50K minus taxes, which is not poverty level, but low for any practical purpose. If instead you decided to go to work, you'd be spending 20k+ on daycare, assuming both you and your husband had regular schedules and didn't work shifts.[/quote] Your $50k wouldn’t even cover decent childcare after taxes. What world are you living in? [/quote]
