Unexpectedly Expensive
I was looking forward to a nice increase in available money this August when my twin daughters started Kindergarten. No more day care costs...hooray! All we'd have to pay for is after school care for a couple of hours. Should be fairly cheap compared to an all day daycare that provides hot meals, right? Right?
Nope. While it is cheaper - it's about 61% of what we were paying for full day care - we were having half of the cost of the full day daycare provided by my parents. It was a great help to us. But once they start school that money stops so when it's all said and done we will be paying $1000 more a year than we were before. Ouch! Of course that adds up to only $20 more a week than what we are paying now but, still, that's a thousand bucks a year. I just wince at the interest that I won't be making somewhere on that money.
Guess it's time to really tighten down the budget and grin and bear it. Goodbye fast food, I hardly knew ye.
