[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Living in this area is expensive. I'm just sayin'. You can be a housecleaner anywhere. Move to a different area. [/quote]

Truth.  I was helping an ill family member in Dallas a few years ago, and I was shocked to discover that the housekeepers there make more than they do here.  I don't know why people in service industries, who could do their job anywhere live in this area.[/quote]

I agree.  There are plenty of places in VA and MD, outside of the metro area, where one can live for a heck of a lot less.

My family member has a once a week housekeeper who lives in NoVA and drives to central VA to clean houses for people, which makes no sense to me.  If she moved to the area where she works, she could have a nice home on a decent plot of land for $150k, and not have to commute or work as much to afford it.  I don't know if family connections keep her in this area, but that would not be enough to prevent me from moving somewhere more affordable.

OP, I'm sorry, it must be a real struggle trying to afford things in this area.      [/quote]
