High Daycare Costs

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers child care to be affordable if it costs no more than 7% of a household's income. Does ANYONE pay this?

Going back to work after SAHPing and I'm finding it hard to clear daycare costs. I have an M.S. I'm in public service. I have three kids in a MCOL city with high daycare rates. I've been quoted $50k-$80k annually for full-time care for our three. And we're millennials who dont own a home. How are y'all making this work?
