[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ill bite - I am 32 and my DH is 30. Our HHI is 175k and two big reasons we aren't having kids yet - in the immediate we can't afford it (day care is upwards of $1600-1800 a month in DC) and in the long term we can't afford it (our under grad institutions are pushing 60k+ per year NOW) and the other reason is most of our friends aren't even married at this point and the ones that are have not had kids. If we had a kid we would only be breaking even for the next few years and would be in debt if we had 2 and were paying for daycare. Husband is a JD working government and I work in the non profit world and have only a BA.[/quote] Um, $175k and you think you can't afford that daycare payment? Just no. Plus, while college costs are daunting to look at, there are plenty of ways to pay for it. You really need to learn how to budget better.[/quote]
