You literally said right here that supporting 1 kid on 100K is not barely getting by. I'm saying that you really don't know how much barely getting by is because you aren't informed on how much a kid costs.

While I don't have kids, I have plenty of friends who do. I have a decent understanding of the costs involved and it doesn't appear that my friends who have 1 spouse working for 100k a year while the other is at home with the baby are "struggling".
Anyway, agree to disagree ...I am going to bow out of the daycare debate. I walk away more informed on the topic and knew my opinion wouldn't be a popular one as the majority seem to have children. Until the next topic  |
I don't know your friends or their situation, I am telling you my situation. We aren't struggling, but we have very little wiggle room and we are above your threshold. If there was a subsidized childcare progam it would give us the ability to put more money back into the economy in other areas, which is what my original point was pages ago.
