[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will likely be moving out soon with my young elementary DS - I expect to have around 75% custody during the school year, less during the summer. Trying to decide between renting a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. I could afford a 2 bedroom without compromising our basic financial situation, but it would definitely mean pinching pennies and some sacrifices on fun stuff, and also dropping some time-saving luxuries that really help me as a working mom (Aldi instead of instacart, for example). I am not really a "house" person, so it doesn't sound terrible at all to live in a small space with me sleeping in the living room and DS getting the bedroom. But obviously it would be an inconvenience and not as comfortable as 2 bedrooms. Thoughts?[/quote] how much flexibility do you have on where to live? There are some really cheap 2-bedroom size places in the suburbs (Maryland especially) if you look for them. But if you are tied to some of the more expensive DC neighborhoods by schools, by some restriction to stay close to your ex, or not wanting to commute, then it's harder.[/quote]
