[quote=Anonymous]We live downtown.   We try not to take too many days tgat aren't big trips.  We do a lot of long weekend camping type trips using comp time instead of things like a week at the Delaware beaches and save up the money and days off for a big trip once a year.  We have a lot more time to prepare and be cost-conscious because we have essentially no commute, which I figure gives our family an extra 20 hours a week (assuming an average hourcommute each way for each of us if we moved out).  We get really antsy if we don't travel internationally once a year (or do another short, weekend or three-day weekend trip monthly).

We faced a lot of pressure to move to the burbs and considered it seriously despite our strong desire to stay in the city.  We couldn't move at first though because our condo building was in litigation, thus preventing sales.  This turned out to be quite fortuitous as we really love raising our child in the city and the freedom it provides us.  Plus, although there may not be as many families nearby, we find ourselves having extremely similar values and priorities as those that are here.  It isn't for everyone, but if you want to do it, don't listen to the naysayers, just try it out and see if it works for you.[/quote]
