This, but you gotta cook. Grocery pickup services help, too.

Walmart pickup has been great for us. Much easier to budget for groceries and eating out less.

And geez...the daycare bills :hanging: :hanging: :hanging:

Yeah, those more than anything have lit a fire under us to get our mortgage paid off as quickly as possible so we have room in the budget for school - public schools in New Orleans are awful so you kind of have to go private.

It's more loss of personal time than freedom imo... I guess they go hand in hand. Still very much worth it, obvi.

Our daycare bill is more than our monthly mortgage payment.

you're hitting the peak years of spending the best time with the kids . . . then they start playing with friends more, then turn into teens who begrudgingly tolerate you, lol.
