[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be realistic PP but if you have a child or children, [b]good luck trying to make it on a teacher's salary in the DC area by yourself.[/b] I guess you could live in a one bedroom or maybe a cheaper basement apartment or something. You would need to find a summer job that allowed you to bring your child/children to work with you and those jobs are few and far between (and you won't make enough in a summer job to match your teaching salary). Paying for daycare/camps is very pricey too so getting a different type of summer job and affording childcare is $$$. That's great that you could support yourself as a single person on a teaching salary but add some kids to the situation and you will find it quite difficult in this expensive area.[/quote] No one said that the only alternative to relying on a husband's salary is having to make it on your own. Both partners can contribute to the finances of the family in equal or similar measures.[/quote]
