Wanted to add, “Fuck Cars!!”
Car payments for decades of one’s life are not the way to go.

Childcare is closer to 1500 per child, FYI, at least in Jersey.
It’s $500/week/child near me.
I have friends who quit working. Two kids in daycare, you got a clear 30k take-home to make it work, and if you’re barely making it work with that, on top of killing yourself, that income stream just doesn’t make sense. It’s dumb.
I had a friend who was the director of a YMCA daycare, and I have no idea how they kept functioning. I crunched numbers and they barely had enough to pay their teachers. She made jack shit. It was crazy. And we still paid a fortune to go there.
Yeah, I was guessing that one might be way worse than that. When my kids were born, it was cheaper for my wife to quit working than to pay infant rate child care, but that was a long time ago.
