[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are so weird!!! We bought our house before we were even engaged. Things happen step by step. And it's not short term thinking--most of us cannot afford to buy our first home in Chevy Chase. We bought where we could afford. I do not want this string to turn into the argument of those who "care" about their children's education and rent a 1-bedroom on Connecticut Ave vs those who don't because they bought a house they could afford. But really--should you have bought a house in a good school distinct before even thinking of having kids? Seems bizarre.[/quote]

This exactly what we did, along with 3 other households on our block.  We live in CCDC and all of of moved in over a period of ~12 years as just a man and a woman: no baby, no baby bump, and no kids.

I'm not saying we are better than anyone else who fancied a house elsewhere for reasons having nothing to do with public schools. I am however certain that what we did is common, not "bizarre" among a certain personality type.  We also have plans for "bizarrely" far off things like retirement, college, assisted living (serious), death (will, benefits), orthodontia and so on.   [/quote]
