Date: March 15th, 2026 6:58 PM Author: comical fear-inspiring crackhouse filthpig We've gotten almost all the equipment necessary for under 500 dollars used through Facebook Marketplace (all very nice things). The only things we have left are the car seat, stroller, and high chair. Food seems cheap. I WFH and my wife stays at home. How is this supposed to be expensive?

You can get it done for $1500, but it’s just getting started.
No other nursery expenses? Paint, etc.?
I think you’re delusional. But the real costs don’t start until you need childcare. But your monthly nut is at least $300 for food/diapers,etc. |

They arent talking about the cost of having kids and feeding them. They’re talking about the cost of a Curated experience. No blacks. No ORM, god willing. And no Scummy character building bullshit.and the kid not raising themselves with screens or latchkey Scumbag shit. |

Date: March 17th, 2026 3:12 AM Author: Black locale place of business If you're poor and getting a big obamacare subsidy then you don't really pay more, and the same is usually true if you have insurance through a BIGCORP employer.
however, if you are buying full freight obamacare insurance without a subsidy, the cost is insane. And to add a kid to my small-law insurance (employer covers mine 100% but I'd pay 100% of any family members added) is like $900 per month per kid. That's literally the direct cost to the firm.
So basically, my wife is stuck working at a BIGCORP employer since it would be $2700/month to insure her and two kids through my job, or slightly less for a much shittier obamacare policy.
she pretty much can't be a SAHM right now because of this. I have to retire at the same time as her so we can slum it with almost-free subsidized obamacare, but I want to stay in the game and save up for another couple of years before I do that. I have like $4500 coming off my monthly nut in the next year or so from getting house and cars fully paid off. |
