Cost of my childrens’ education will much more than $180k. Daycare is 70-80k then private school is 300k+. Public schools are in a very sad state.
Children are a true luxury in this day and age.

Housing in districts where public schools are ok comes at a massive premium. The difference between San Jose and Los Gatos is more than 300k.
Private schools are 2-3k per month.
To afford Bay Area both parents have to work 50+ hours a week with 30+ minute commutes. As a result, the time parents spend with children is very limited. Raising a famility with even 2 children is a big challenge.
