[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Think through child care expenses more closely. With 2 kids, it's often cheaper to do a nanny share or sometimes even just get your own nanny. The way you'vve budgeted for day care  with 2 kids, that's $1k/week.. you can _sometimes_ get a nanny for around that in Bethesda.

Also remember child care expenses go down over time, while your incomes presumably go up as your careers advance. Once your first kid is 2, you can put them in preschool, and that can be under $1k/month including aftercare especially at a co-op nursery school. Then the 2 year old will eventually turn 5 and be at elementary school, so then you just have after-care expenses.

I know a couple living in a house about the same price in Bethesda, and it's a squeeze when they are really young due to child care, but that goes down as they kids get older.. and it goes fast.[/quote]

When the kids get older they need other things though and it's not like the activities/classes they want to sign up for are free either.
Your expenses won't be going down that much.[/quote]
