Working families are often presented with a challenge -- should someone stay home to watch the child, or continue working and pay for daycare? The thought of giving up an income to stay home with the kids may seem like a big sacrifice, but when you actually start to look at the true costs and potential savings, it might not be so bad. Of course, everyone has different priorities and financial situations, but you can make the best decision for your family if you take everything into account carefully.

Take a look at what you should consider when determining if you can afford to stay home with your child or not.
