The Daily Money: Want to live near good schools?
View Date:2024-12-23 14:06:01
Good morning and Happy Earth Day. This is Betty Lin-Fisher with today's The Daily Money.
When it comes to looking for a home to raise their families, parents and parents-to-be usually want a house in a good school district.
A new report says homes in those high-performing school districts come at a big premium – nearly $300,000 more on average – according to a story by my colleague Medora Lee.
Read the piece here and see what states have the steepest premiums.
Child-care costs are increasing
Speaking of kids, a new report says parents are paying nearly one-fifth of their paycheck on child care – and the costs are rising.
The average household with child-care bills spends $325 a week, or 18.6% of its weekly income, according to an analysis by LendingTree, a personal finance site.
Read the story by my colleague Daniel de Visé and see what states have the highest child-care costs.
