[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprising that you found an apartment that was affordable enough for you to pay for private school for ?? number of years - but not one to go to public?  unless there are no apartments in the HS district (which is pretty rare)[/quote]

The apartments in the HS district cost as much as we were paying to rent the SFH.

Moving out of the house meant that we could let go of a lot of house/larger home related expenses. We were able to drop home security. My renter's insurance and utility bills are MUCH smaller. My former landlord didn't care about the landscaping, but we were the only renters on the block so I didn't want anyone to feel like we were dragging things down by not taking care of the yard.  By moving out of the SFH and into the apartment, I'm not hemorrhaging money trying to get the front back and side yards to look good 3 out of 4 seasons. We now living walking distance from the grocery store, church, doctors' offices, and entertainment, and Metro. So we are spending less on the car as well.

We still need FA, but we couldn't have closed the gap if we were still living in the SFH.[/quote]
