[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, others have said it already but consider moving elsewhere. We couldn't afford kids in DC despite making a combined $120k. Even then, we'd be scraping by and it wouldn't be the lifestyle I wanted. We moved to Atlanta and have ZERO regrets. We have a big house here, a yard, I'll be able to stay home...granted it's not nearly as interesting of a place to live but you have to sacrifice somewhere.[/quote] But didn't you take a huge paycut to move to Atlanta?[/quote] Well my husband ended up making more money - but I took a pay cut. It's not a huge deal though because the cost of living is so much lower here. This certainly isn't the case for everyone but it did work out for the best at least in our case. [/quote]
