[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. My spouse and I are teachers also. We used to live in a major city where housing in a safe area was comparable to DC. We couldn't afford it and had to live in a sketchy neighborhood with not so great schools. We moved to a suburb that wasn't so fancy or expensive. Our house is super simple, we don't take nice vacations, we share one car, we save like crazy but we do have a nice life. For me, I lived in developing countries for part of my life and I've seen how most of the world lives. And yes, comparatively, we live like kings. We have clean water, healthy food, healthcare and a roof over our heads. Our children have a lot of what they want. Happiness doesn't have much to do with income, it has to do with relationships. And while DC is expensive, no one is forcing anyone to live there. There's an entire nation that has a lot to offer.[/quote] Nailed it, every word. :shock: [/quote]
