Invest it in your new day care business.Of course they'll tell me that I'll make more $$$ until the stock market crashes... Anyhow I don't have a financial advisor.

There's an iPhone app you can get - iDiaperI haven't changed a diaper in most 30 yrs.... Did anybody invented an automatic diaper changer yet?...
Fine. So I will tell you. Of course the market will crash. Of course it will go up again. You’ve got 18 years until your grandchild goes to college. Over a time that long, the market will overall trend upwards.Of course they'll tell me that I'll make more $$$ until the stock market crashes... Anyhow I don't have a financial advisor.

In the SF area, average $2k/month/infant per infant. Yup 4.5 months counts as an infant. No discounts for 2. And it’s after tax dollars. The FSA is limited $5k/year so helps a little but not much. So that means a person needs to earn about $6500/month pre-tax to make it worth while to work.
I love you @missy@Dancing Fire that will be $1k for @LLJsmom time and expertise. Please make the check payable to CASH.
Then why have kids in the first place? .... daycare aren't 24/7 service.There’s the tax shelter (taken out pretax), tax deduction, multiple child daycare discount, and continued 401K / pension growth to consider.
Also, not every parent is able to cope with the stress of childcare. It’s extremely hard work.

If you can't handle the stress why have kids?Really? Simply nonsense DF.

Much cheaper to the pay taxes!...@Dancing Fire, why have kids? Tax deduction!
Nahh, we would rather see them put more money into their mortgage each month.
A lot of wisdom in this. I second that grandma’s work should not be “free”.DF...my mom watched my oldest child when I went back to work. I paid her for it. Worth every penny! Didnt cost me as much as regular day
care and I knew he was getting the best care possible.
Make your kids pay. Do what you want with the money or tuck the money away to give back to them someday (or help pay for the grandkids college).
I dont think they should be getting "free" daycare. Even if you love doing the job, its a big responsibility and very time consuming.
If you happen to be in a career where you can “off ramp” for a couple years where you can send your kids to preschool instead of infant care, it can be more doable. Also speaking from my own experiences I was more than ready to be back to work after about 18month of mommy daycare for both my kids! And I think my kids are happier too!Thanks for the birth control, LLJ! HAHAH!
My wife is still providing FREE daycare for 3 grandkids.
