Right now, it is our mortgage. But once LO is in daycare it is definitely going to be childcare costs!

Mortgage. We actually own two places right now, we have the house that we live in and a townhouse that we rent out.
I'm a SAHM so no worries about childcare.... but then we don't have that extra income.

Mortgage! Definitely!! Child care here is pretty reasonable, so even after have a baby, our mortgage will still be our biggest expense!

Childcare. We are moving on Monday and childcare will be more than double our rent in our new place!

Either mortgage or retirement savings. Probably mortgage.

@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: I feel you. My student loans used to be more than my rent

@yoursilverlining: It is a monthly kick in the butt, especially since we have a mortgage with all the taxes and whatnot. And yet, the student loans are still more.

@highwire: So much money, even with public schools and no time wasted. Just blech.

@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle: Ditto! And my tuition was paid for by my grandmother. So, that is just for books/living expenses (ugh NOT my finest financial decision)

Rent for us right now. Daycare will come close. I'm happy to not have my student loan any more, but when we start daycare it'll be like having my loan payments back.

Mortgage, and it still will be even after childcare (but childcare will be a close second!)

Right now it's savings, then rent.
Soon it will be rent, then childcare, then savings.

Savings is where most of our money goes, but then mortgage for sure and everything else is way behind that!

Mortgage first, childcare second. Everything else is a distant third.

@Andrea: Are your taxes higher than your mortgage?! That's crazy!! One of the reasons I'm scared to move back to the NorthEast and become poor!
Our savings is number one. Mortgage is number two.
Once LO starts day care that will become the new number one.
