[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 34 and have one kid. No more kids for me (can't imagine paying for 2 daycare slots in DC).  My little three person family has no need and no desire for a huge house. We make do with our 1 car and 1600 sq ft "shitshack" in a close-in, historic neighborhood with good public schools. DH and I bought this house in 2011, at the tail end of the recession, for less than $300K; now we have about $250K in equity. I think our situation is a lot better than people 5-10 years younger than us.

A lot of my friends have 1 or 2 kids and probably won't have more. I can't think of any that would ever buy a McMansion. We like being able to walk places. But maybe I'll eat my words in 10 years. [/quote]

Gen X-er here.  I'm glad you could make it work!  Most of my friends have 2 kids as well, but when we were upgrading our homes from "starter homes" to "family homes", none of us could afford homes (in good school areas) close in. So we are all in Fairfax/Loudoun County now.  Miss living close in...[/quote]
