[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one should be living in or paying for a house greater than 1800 sq. feet.  What a crock that you can't afford daycare if you are living in a 300sq ft house! [/quote]

I live in a 1000 sq ft apartment. I can’t afford daycare. And before you scream “high COL area” — I live in an area with poor skills and pay $2500/mo for 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. I’m not living high on the highway here.[/quote]

I mean you selected into the most expensive neighborhood or building in your area then. You live in a LCOL area but paying $2500 for 2 beds? Whose fault is that?[/quote]

2,500 is pretty low, PP.  [/quote]

No, it is not. For a LCOL area. You can be paying a mortgage for $800/mo. $2,500/mo for a 2-bedroom apartment is the equivalent of a $450,000 house. Which gets you plenty of room in low-cost of living places.

Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas for instance is LCOL. Housing can be had for half the price of OPs apartment and an extra bedroom to boot.
