I hate to tell you this but the costs of after school care are almost as high as daycare (YMMV). Kindergarten is about $1,300 for the year and grade school is about half that (remember, they get every 2nd Friday off now)
God knows the budget's tight, but it's still a good habit to stick with if you can to put x% of your salary away for savings. Even if it's a big drop from what you used to do. "Temporary" has a way of sticking around a lot longer than you think...
