I was just curious if anyone budgets a certain percentage monthly/yearly to be used towards purchasing equipment. For example, I was speaking with another DP and she says she sets aside $1/day per child to purchase equipment. She cares for 4 kids, so as an estimate she says that she has about $90 per month to go towards something. If it's not new toys, books she'll save and it apply it later to something she wants to get for her dayhome, such as a child friendly table.
Do any of you do this and if so, how much do you budget?
Thanks
