[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in Sales and Marketing. I make $100K.  I am 36.  I am pregnant and due in August.  $100 is not going to cut it. (Single Mom), at least not for me.  I often think about law school, but wouldn't want to take a cut in pay.  [b]I would have to take a cut in pay wouldn't I?[/b]  What can I do to advance my career.  I am finding it hard to cross over into higher paying industries...like marketing for a law firm (they pay very well).  [b]I just feel I need to make around $150 to $175 in order to really afford DC alone with a baby[/b].  I have been saving money for months now...hoping to buy a house out right in Florida within the next year (Tampa), but do I really want to raise my kid in Florida!  I am a native to DC.  This place is awesome.  I just don't know what to do.[/quote]

You would take a cut in pay, if you found a job at all (open question).

You do not need $150+ to raise a child in this area.  You just don't.[/quote]

So obi one...Where do you live?  Break down the pay for me as you see it.  I need a two bedroom eventually...so you tell me how I can stretch $100K using the marginal tax brackets with only a standard deduction.[/quote]

It's Obi Wan. FYI.[/quote]

Thanks.  It is? Too funny.  I never knew that.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi[/quote]
