Moving is incredibly expensive and you have to find a new job, which is hard as fuck for anything paying better than slave wages. I feel like shit like this is written by experienced coders, surgeons, people like that who can snap their fingers and have a different job.

The kind of places where daycare is 5K a month are probably the 5% most expensive areas in a first world country. If you don't have a high paying job in those areas your job is very likely available elsewhere.

Or you have more than one kid.

Discussing cost for something like that per month but not per kid without mentioning the number of kids you are thinking of would be kind of weird.
