[quote=Anonymous][quote=MarleySkye840]I don't think OP is necessarily being smug. I think she is just saying, you don't need 100's of thousands to live "comfortably"- even in this area. I think OP is really just challenging what we generally view as "necessary" or important.

So yes, as  she gets older and has more responsibilities, she will have to roll with the punches, but I think knowing that money doesn't always help the situation is key. We all know that money will help with bills and wants, but I think it is important to know *how* to get by on less so that if you need to, it isn't a huge shock. [/quote]

The point all of us working parents are making is that having a reasonably comfortable and safe living space; safe, loving childcare; decent public schools; and a commute that doesn't take up all of our family time ... not to mention the other costs of raising a child like food and health care ... are in fact things that require money. They are not really in the category of wants for most of us. [/quote]
