Show Notes

Today, I want to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot. Did you know some families pay as much for childcare each month as they do for their house? That's right! For example, I pay $3,400 a month just so someone can take care of my kids while I work. That's the same as my house payment! It's crazy expensive, and it's not just me feeling this pinch. I read an article from the U.S. Department of Labor that says childcare costs a lot of money everywhere in the United States. This makes it super hard for families to afford to have kids, and it's tough on the people who work in childcare too. They don't get paid very much, which doesn't seem fair since they do such an important job. Can't wait to hear what you think, so be sure to let me know!
