They pay $2,700/month for daycare.

She’s a nurse in California and makes decent money, but after taxes, 20-30% of her paycheck is basically just going to someone else watching her kids.

The craziest part is if you make under $80,000 in their county, childcare is free.

So you end up in this weird spot where working harder and making more money can actually punish you.
