Haha. Thanks for the laugh.

Isn't there a forum for the super rich to post on?


I don't know who perpetuates it, but just because I'm monetarily wealthy doesn't mean I'm not also a regular person who surfs the internet sometimes. I don't sit around having the pool boy fan me while feeding me grapes. Sometimes I'm just the mom sitting in a doctor's waiting office with her kid, like all the other moms.


Okay "regular person", news flash: you are not a regular person and your experience and budget advice does not help someone who is making $120K!!

Note to self: 1) rich people are not regular people; 2) only poors can post a response on this thread. Ok, got it.


Yeah I guess I won't bother to add anything. Unless you're struggling your opinion doesn't matter around here

HHI slightly over $500k
two kids, 9 months and 2 1/2 years
nanny $3500/month

never thought that we'd be making this much money, but it is tight between nanny, mortgage, and law/medical school loans.

We have a 20 month old and one on the way. HHI is 350. Our nanny is 2800/month, will go up to 3100/month with the new baby. Mortgage is 4200. Student loans are 2200. I know we make a lot but things feel tight because our fixed costs are high. I don't think we'd save anything changing from a nanny to a day care though and we aren't considering it.

She mentioned that she would love another but that daycare is killing her and that they cant afford it. I understand that I have no idea what other expenses they may have but I just don't see how its so hard .


You're right, you have no idea what other expenses she has and no idea how much she earns. I'm willing to bet it's not as much as you think. Stop counting other people's money.

3 kids, 7, 4, and 1
HHI 800k

preschool, nanny, and public school

If you don't go to private school and have a nanny instead of daycare for multiple children close together in age, you can bring down costs.
