Re: Childcare
agree very much with @Aaze. it really does depend on your overall earnings and your overall goal for yourself.
ours is also a two income household and full time housekeeper/nanny amounts to just about 8% of our combined monthly income. we live in los angeles … which has a higher cost of living as compared to other less urban parts of the country.
it hasn’t affected our savings at all and what i get for the price (home including bathrooms cleaned daily, beds made, laundry done and folded, dishes done and put away and my baby cared for in my home.) is totally worth it.
