So let’s pretend you have already had a baby to see if you can afford to quit your job. Take 100 percent of the mom's salary and put it in the bank. Then take $1,300-$1,500 a month from the dad's salary and put that in the bank.
If you can make it on what's left over from the father's salary, you know you can afford a baby without the mom having to return to work.
