You are planning to make a move to Mississauga, but are trying to determine what you can afford by taking a look at your monthly expenses. First of all, congratulations, you've taken the right first step – you are sitting down and determining EXACTLY what you can afford. One of the biggest expenses for a young family is the cost of daycare. Prices can seem down right exorbitant at times, but you have to work and earn an income and your children need to be cared for while you do that. If you are choosing a daycare program, be sure to get as much information as possible on it, visit the school, and talk with others that have attended before enrolling your children in the program. But, what other options are available for families who are looking to lower their monthly expenses?
