[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I migrated to this area separately for college and stayed. Now, we're 34 and 36 with a toddler and another on the way. We are doing okay with two cars a TH and both employed. However, I feel like we are just getting by.  I'm ready to migrate west in hopes we can enjoy a nice affordable suburb, reasonable commute (we live in Leesburg and DH commutes 1 1/2 hours to/from DC), have more time for each other and see more of our money go into savings. Right now we're spent after an expensive daycare, transportation costs, student loans, college savings plan, etc. DH wants to stay in hopes he gets another raise but I think even if he gets a little more money, we agreed that as the children got older I would cut back on my hours since I have the more flexible job. After his possible raise we'd still be breaking even.

Has anyone considered migrating out of DC? Where would you consider moving? I have McKinney, TX and some burb in Florida on my list. The homes are beautiful, they have great schools and a nice 4BR house can be purchased for under 350k. I feel like we will never get ahead if we stay in DC but in my house I'm in the minority.[/quote]
