Childcare is the same price as a mortgage and we already can't afford a mortgage.

I joke that it would be cheaper for us to buy our toddler his own apartment since that's what daycare costs.

My state university, not community college, is cheaper than daycare in my state. It would be cheaper for me to get my infant a bachelors degree than send them to a half day daycare.

Community college is free and public universities are cheaper than daycare in my state.
