[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working from home has saved me per year:
~$2000 in parking
~$1000 in gas
~$1000 on work clothes and dry cleaning
~$4000 on after school care

Food is probably a wash since I buy more groceries now.

I know a lot of people who stopped sending their kids to aftercare when they started working from home full time.  How old are your kids? Do they require supervision when you get home from work? Are you able to fully do your job when they come home, or are you half working, half taking care of them?  My work was quite explicit that we are expected to have child care for children when we are working from home, so I continue sending my two kids to aftercare.  I am counting down the days until I can get rid of that expense! [/quote]

Different poster. My kids just finished 3rd and I stopped aftercare halfway through this year. Not so much to save money but because they hated it. They are very good about keeping themselves occupied and I am fully working until 5, often the end of the day is my busiest time of the work day. No issues with my kids interfering [/quote]
