FTM: talk to me about childcare
I know that we all come from different COL areas so instead of asking what is the amount you pay for childcare, I figured I'd go a different route. How much percentage wise do you pay for child care monthly?

We don't have children yet, but we know where we want our future children to go and roughly how much it costs.
It would be about 15% of our take home pay. We live in a LCOL area though.

First- I love your signature and puppy baby announcement. We did something similar with our pit mix
I'm still working on the whole budgeting thing so our take home pay varies a little bit per month depending on 401k contribution, etc. The easiest math for me is to day the DC our LO will be going to in Sept will be about 12% of our net annual salaries.
Thanks
