[quote=Anonymous]My parents pushed hard to live in an upper-middle class neighborhood that they couldn't quite afford. Had my mother worked full time I think they'd have been fine, but she didn't. When my brother and I were old enough to look back and understand what went on, we agreed we wish they would have lived more within their means. We could have been two towns over in one direction or one town over in another (10-15 minutes away) and still gone to very good public schools. But we wouldn't have been in the situation of having only one Champion sweatshirt when every kid around us had five. On three-day weekends everyone from school except us wouldn't have been jetting off to Florida. In the summer weekends, we were just ... at home. Which would have been perfectly fine if all our friends were also at home, but they were away at their summer homes. OP, continue on with your plan to move 10 hours away. Live within your means. Your kid will thank you for it.[/quote]
