You should also consider this is my struggle in a two income household. Single parent households and households that make less than us, must navigate this same struggle. Once upon a time I was a single mom. At one point I worked two jobs while in undergrad full time (amassing debt).

I was on WIC, Foodstamps, and Medicaid. I received daycare assistance from the state.

While I have your attention, lets talk about childcare. The weekly rate for my 2yr old is $348 or $1,740 per month. When he turns 3 the weekly rate is $296 or $1,480 per month. When my new baby arrives, his weekly rate will be $412 or $2,060 per month.

Together both children will be $3,540 per month.
