[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP, we lived for 10 years in a one bedroom rental, until DC1 was 6 and DC2 was 1, and lived *extremely* frugally, to afford a 1200 sq ft single family home in a better school district. I entirely agree that we need to build more affordable housing, but I just wanted to tell you that families make calculated sacrifices for their long-term goals. The concept of one bedroom per kid is just that. A concept. Not a reality for most people in the world. [/quote] Good for you! You did it and it paid off. You should be justifiably proud of that accomplishment. We only lasted until DC1 was 2. That being said, most of the way we live in the United States is "not a reality for most people in the world" so perhaps tone it down a bit.[/quote]
