If this was you, what would you do? What would you cut to balance this budget? I would probably be moving. That seems like the easiest place to flex that makes a difference

Housing at 38% of wages? Also, budget is $500 over wages? And jeez! Daycare is 28%! No amount of tariffs or federal worker layoffs is going to jumpstart this bleak reality. We need more affordable housing, subsidized daycare and higher wages. Pay people more ffs!

I think you’re right about affordable housing and subsidizing daycare. To that I’d add health insurance. Don’t necessarily need higher wages if those are covered. In my experience that chart tracks for daycare for 1 kid, a 2nd kid would totally sink them.

All states have some form of childcare subsidy but the amount of assistance and who qualifies varies wildly between all of them
