[quote=Anonymous]I can't even begin to look at all the responses, but we're leaving. We love it here actually, but we are tired of making what would normally be a living wage (about $75K combined income) and being totally dirt poor. In other places, we could afford a whole house! We live in a 750 sq ft tiny apt. We live in the city to avoid traffic so we can actually TRY to spend some time with out toddler son who goes to bed at 7:00. We bust our britches constantly, take on extra jobs for money, and barely ever make it paycheck to paycheck. We don't feel like we can move way our where we could afford more home because then our commute would make it so we never saw our son.

I won't even start with daycare costs and freaking out about what to do with public school.

We're moving somewhere in the fall where money goes farther and traffic isn't an issue and the public schools are better. We're tired of being totally broke and stressed and not having time with our son.

That said, we love living in DC - there is so much opportunity for our son in terms of activities.[/quote]
