[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you only have one child, if I were you, I'd move into a cheaper place thereby reducing the mortgage.

While our income didn't take a dramatic hit like your's did, I was sick of living with high expenses.  We moved to a cheaper area with good schools.  Explore your options.  Your mortgage is probably your biggest expense.  Don't know how old your child is, but once your DC hits K, you won't have to pay for childcare as much, just after school care.  This was another big burden on us.

If you do move and have a cheaper mortgage, this may enable you to have a second child.  However, I would seriously not do this as this will add more stress to you and your marriage.[/quote]

Her mortgage is pretty damn good for this area

You can't  rent a two bedroom in dc for that amount[/quote]

Yes you can and without trying very hard. Next year, my child and I are moving to Chevy Chase on an income under 100K and renting a 2 bedroom for about $1600-1700. I am renting my 2bed DC condo about for less than that. I can find that price under $2400 easily in the District.

OP probably doesn't want to move because she's too busy keeping up with the Joneses.[/quote]

Please tell me the address of these buildings where you can rent a two bedroom for 1600.[/quote]

Two bedroom for less than $1000.  I am SO SICK of people saying you CAN'T live in DC for under a certain amount.  Do you think janitors and home health aides and cashiers don't live in the city? You're wrong! They do!
