[quote=Anonymous]OP I made less than you when I first moved to silver spring. I managed to have my own ($1400/month) apartment that ate up 40% of my income but like you managed to live very well. I became a single Mom two years later and now make 100-120K. However my rent has gone up and will continue to go up to afford a 2 bedroom ($1600-2000). Daycare was $1600 for a baby, now $1400. That doesn't include increased costs for food, toys, clothes, entertainment, and I pay more taxes. I'm fortunately still not pinched, but certainly live a similar lifestyle (no cable, used car, old furniture & TV) as a single woman on 30K vs single Mom at 100K.[/quote]
