is this really monthly? seems like it may be a typo and should be annually

Seems annual. 26k monthly would be wild. Some of the places near me are pretty damn bougee but maybe 5-7k a month for 1 kid.

Bay Area

It’s like 5-7k if you live anywhere around a city 

2-3k Midwest 

On top of living with the fact you’re working for someone else so someone else can raise your kids 

Ooof

having said that, these numbers are averages and so e.g. major cities are _much_ higher

No way that’s monthly. $2k/kid/month is about right for starting point in the Midwest.

To clarify $2k/month is a babysitter— a daycare packed with kids is less but still a lot

Daycare national average is $20/hr— my home city is about $2k/month at 40 hours per week or $700/mo for trad daycare.

I think it has to be yearly. Like me and my 2 brothers had the same babysitter and I imagine that’s a package deal maybe $2-3k per month at 40hr/wk

Still thats a lot it’s basically the cost of rent. Not including food or diapers and stuff.

I think it’s accurate because it’s two kids 😬
