[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering how anyone can argue with a straight face that parents using the AP program are cheap. America has among the highest childcare costs in the world and a normal AP tab will run about $24k/year. The same age group that is paying that is also paying down historically high student loans, and inflated housing costs, with salaries that have been stagnating for 30 years.

I understand it might be hard for some teens to keep their budget of $800 totally discretionary money in check, but in many cases the APs have more spending money than the host parents. Okay, disdain the parents for not having money or being stuck looking for less than adequate childcare, but your contempt won't fix anything. No amount of internet shaming will fix how our economy is structured. Wokeness doesn't pay the bills. [/quote]

I showed our AP this chain and she was like, I haven’t touched my money in 8 months and I have 9k in the bank. I then tried to remember the last time we had 9k in our checking account and could not. [/quote]
