Childcare is so expensive many families are just giving up now, forcing them to sacrifice incomes, savings, and careers

The rising costs of childcare are pushing many families to the brink, leading them to abandon their jobs and savings just to make ends meet. A recent report from Bank of America highlights a concerning 1.6% annual decline in households making monthly payments, indicating that more families are struggling to afford basic childcare. This trend is alarming as it not only affects family finances but also has broader implications for the economy, as parents are forced to sacrifice their careers and financial stability.
