[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The part this is depressing about this to me is the idea of leave without pay. I know many people on this board are in high income families, but I'm guessing many of us are not. The flexibility of getting off work with no pay is like a fairy tale to me. [b]My family needs my income[/b]. Hell, they could give me 6 months off, I wouldn't be able to take it if it was unpaid. Thanks to the PP who posted the DC bill link. I definitely am reviewing that now. [/quote] If you're using the second income to pay for essentials and housing there is a problem. You took on too high of housing costs or had too many children. [/quote] You're a jerk, PP. Most dual-income families in this area need both incomes.[/quote] I don't understand this. Can't you just limit your rent/mortgage to one income? It seems like if you can't do this then you're living in an area you can't afford. [/quote] DP, but people have other expenses other than their mortgage. Our mortgage is based on one income, but I have student loans, home repairs, we need food for the family, insurance, utilities, medical expenses for other DC, etc. My largest fixed expense after my mortgage is student loans, which is hefty. And no, my parents couldn't have just paid college for me. Loans were the only bootstraps I had. [/quote]
