[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the time here.  A lot of my friends have their kids in so many activities and I can't fathom how they do it financially.  I don't dwell on it because it's really none of my business but the thought definitely pops into my head from time to time.  [/quote]

Ah, this one I can answer for you! I have my kid in a fancy shmansy ballet school but I got her in at 1/3 the price through GroupOn. Other classes I've taken her to are either the drop in hour at the kid's gym, which is like $10, or through the Y or a rec center. So same activities as other kids, but much cheaper than the most popular options.

Also, we use a licensed in-home daycare which we absolutely love and it also happens to be 30% cheaper than even a low-cost center in DC, so our overall childcare expenses are less than others. What we expect to pay for childcare when we have two (au pair + part time preschool for older one) is not much more than what most of our friends are already paying for one. [/quote]
