[quote=Anonymous]We make about $165 with an infant. We spend $2200 a month on rent for a 2BR apartment in a nice area, $1300 a month on daycare (and that's a good price at an in-home daycare for a toddler--expect more like $1500-1600 for an infant). We're looking to buy a house where our mortgage won't be much different than our rent, but we'll each have 45-55 minute commutes each way when you factor in daycare drop-off. We don't have family in the area, but we have good friends. Think hard about what your life will be like. Look at Redfin and put in your parameters and see where houses and townhouses come up--then measure that against your commutes (google maps does drive times and public transit). If you like having a relaxed life with a lot of space in your house, don't come. If the driving force of your career makes the meaning and opportunity of what you can do here a benefit that outweighs the cost of living, then come, and welcome.[/quote]
