[quote=Anonymous]Move closer to the charter school. Really go through your budget to cut expenses and pay down debt. There is no reason to live paycheck to paycheck based on your income and fixed expenses. Depending on where your charter school is, you might be able to rent a house nearby for a little over $2000 (Ft. Totten/Riggs Park/North Michigan Park/Michigan Park--the residential streets have a quiet, friendly feel) rather than an apartment. For what it's worth, we spend a total of $70 for two cell phones and $60 for internet (includes home phone) and no cable or other TV-type expenses. We try to stick to books and DVDs from the library. Kid classes and entertainment aren't necessary, neither is eating out. Don't buy a house in DC with a school-aged kid. Long-term, moving near your husband's job might be a good idea, assuming it's a stable job in an area with good schools. [/quote]
