[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is an attorney and lost his job when the legal market tanked. Our mortgage is 2400 per month and day care is 1500(find me something cheaper I beg you. Does not exist). After saving for retirement and college and paying bills and groceries we have no discretionary money. I am just sad at my reality. I am fully aware it's fine but it's not at all what I imagined. Disappointment[/quote] I feel where you're coming from, OP. Others may be perfectly happy living on less but there's no question that it's hard to adjust to a big drop in income. With that said, I do think it's possible to do better than $1,500/mo on daycare, depending where you live. We're in the Falls Church area and pay $1,200mo for a licensed in-home provider that we *love*. She's full now but had no waiting list at all when we first signed up two years ago. These options do exist but you have to hunt for them.[/quote]
