[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I made the decision when we bought our first house to buy something that we could afford on only one salary because we planned to have children in a few years. It was important to us that if we were going to have children, then we were going to raise those children ourselves, not contract it out for a good part of each day. Over the past five years we have ended up, due to market conditions, taking turns on being the breadwinner. It has meant driving older cars, not taking expensive vacations, and not living in the upper income neighborhoods, but we have given our best to our children at the time when we felt they needed it most. If you want to stay at home and raise your own children, don't blame your husband for not making enough money, change your lifestyle and re-evaluate your priorities. There will always be time enough later to move to the bigger house, but the early years with your children will never occur again.[/quote]
