MODERATORS
So 2000 a month is greater than the max of the range in the most expensive states.
All values are crazy, don't get me wrong. But less crazy than originally stated.
Even the most expensive states are averaged out between cheap suburban and rural areas and the actual expensive cities where the jobs are. $2000/month would be an unbelievable bargain in cities like San Francisco or New York.
Daycare is like a fraction of actually raising a child.
Outside of daycare:
There's diapers. There's meals. There's meds. There's clothes and recreational material.
I have a toddler, I'm aware
They said cost of daycare, that's what I'm inquiring about. If somebody wants to share and discuss full cost that's fine, but a different thing.
