re: How does a family do it financially

Probably the hardest part right now me personally is the added daycare cost. $550 a week for two. Doesn’t include extra stuff, just bare minimum. Don’t know how people do private school for years. We are renting in a nicer area too though because we are a little over a year away from public school and I don’t want to have to pay for private. Goal is once we get one finally through to buy (and because who fricking could in Florida right now).

ETA: just to note, in my area there is a 1 story, 3 br house 1800 sf with no yard for sale for $800k. We may just be moving once my project assignment is over.
