Outerboro NYC, one kid. Daycare $378/week. Plus about $5k in bills (mortgage, car, insurance, food, etc). We try our best to make dinner every night and bring lunch for the day. In September, my son will be in 3k, a free NYC program so daycare will only be the wrap around times. Our combined income is about $200k. We make it work. Neither of us have student loans but we do have some credit card debt but nothing that is astronomical. We still live our lives, we just cut back where it makes sense to
14k a month. Two kids in daycare. Big mortgage. And all the other crap.
We piss through about 10K a month. 2 kids, 2 dogs, one mortgage, 2 cars. And my mother is our dependent too. Oh and we both still have our school loans. YAY.
One kid, Brooklyn, about 7kish/month (daycare, car, rent, utilities, groceries)
Oh and I have 2 kids, running at about 12k/month.
Chicago (city), 2 kids, fixed expenses are $10k/month. $4k/month of that is daycare.
