I'm still working on calculating my "value" at home. I've included daycare, grocery savings, CVS/Walgreens savings, and added the cost of 1 takeout meal. I figured that if I were working we'd be doing takeout at least 1 more night per week ($20). I put the daycare cost at $125/wk for half day care (daughter is in half day Kindergarten). I've also been getting my house ready to paint (caulking cracks, filling holes, etc.) and I priced that at $25/hour. Do these prices seem reasonable? My son is in 4th grade, but I would also need after school care for him but I have no idea what that would cost, any thoughts?

Our schools have a afterschool program at the school for $89 a month (limited enrollment) I am number 23 on the waiting list to get in for our school.
I pay $139 a month for after school care and had a $50 signup fee! The YMCA would have been $199 plus a membership ($10 for student) and $100 signup fee.
The local ECLC is $250 per month I think there sign up was $150.
