I was shopping for daycare trying to kinda get a financial picture of how we could swing it not too long ago and the cheapest daycare I could find came out to about twice my mortgage lol. So I guess I either hit the lottery so I don't have to use daycare or I just don't have kids

This solution is of course not for everyone and its by no means ideal, but a third option for some is to start your own daycare.

No idea if that makes sense for you at all, just posting it here for people that really really want kids and need ideas for how to make the math work.

Look for certified in home daycare. Lots of GenX grandmas taking care of kids, and if you find a licensed one it’s a pretty good setup. The one I use is $100/day.
