I don't think I'll ever pay off my credit card debt. Childcare is just too expensive.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I know the feeling, Jessica, but it gets cheaper once you're out of daycare.

Yay!! Steph and Tim!!!!!!!! Woohoo, Jesse!!
We had all of our credit cards paid off but then sold Bob's condo (yay!) at a loss (boo!). We are making good progress though, since we only have one mortgage now, and should get the balances down significantly this year (god willing and the creek don't rise).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I protest! The New York Times portraits didn't have a Yorkie. The one next to me is currently pretend-eating my hand, so she's not really portrait material.

The cost for my two toddlers in my university's daycare is exactly the same as the estimated cost of tuition, room, and board for one undergraduate at the same school.
The toddlers don't even get a dorm room! Or a free gym! Or free bus passes to get to the downtown bars! How can daycare cost that much?

I demand free bus passes for toddlers! No, wait...
On the one hand, I agree that childcare *should* be highly valued because it's incredibly important. On the other hand, I can't afford it, so I wish it were cheaper.

Yeah, I feel the same way, on both counts. And we even found a decently priced daycare, so I know we don't have it as bad as lots of other people. But it's still crazy expensive.
Steph! YAY! Congratulations! I love the ring. Is there a story behind it?
And a huge YAY for Jesse too!
