[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a similar boat.  HHI of 135k on one income, one full-time masters student who will graduate next spring in a non-high paying field. We don't own but rent a modest 2br (pricey). Our toddler is 2, and I'm 8 weeks pregnant at 38 with our second. I watch our expenses like a hawk, but ivr loosened up on that because it's the big expenses of rent and daycare that are killers.  We have no debt and have liquid savings (about enough for a down payment).  We can only afford a second child because (1) our savings aren't tied up in a house so we can dip into them for infant daycare if necessary; and (2) we have some, if limited, potential for income to go up.  If worst comes to worst, DH can stay home with DC2 if unemployed. Do I wish we could afford a nice house with yard?  Sure.  But renting is the only thing keeping us afloat and free to move to
another part of the country if we get the opportunity.  [/quote]

Good for you.  We were stupid jerks who thought that buying a house would be so smart and we'd build equity and blah blah blah to roll into a new house when we moved.  I want to time travel back a few years and smack from dumb ass upside the head.[/quote]
