[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I get it about the big mortgage payment.  But I'm here to say there's nothing "big" about my house (built in 1940) other than the payment that comes with living in the City of Alexandria.  My husband bought the house before we met- we have about 100k in equity but after realtors fees, we're looking at about a 45k profit.  You do the math.  Where in this area can you buy a 3 bedroom house for 200k?  Our house now is 1600 sq/ft and with one baby we are busting at the seams.  My husband would take a huge pay cut (he's in the engineering field) if we were move to a cheaper market.  Our house is an investment.  And if we moved futher south or west, my husband would have a hellacious commute and we'd never see him... again, asking what other SAHMs have done to supplment income to make some extra $$...[/quote]

If you live in the city of Alexandria, it's very likely you will want to move in a few years when your child becomes school-aged. So keep in mind that expense.[/quote]
