We have 3 DC and we moved out of DC to a midsized more affordable city. All things being equal it was the cost of housing in DC that was controlling what choices we had. Everything else about DC was great but we just wanted to not both be slaves to our jobs just to afford the housing. So we moved and bought a small 1700 square foot house in a smaller city with a very small mortgage. Having a small mortgage had given us so much more freedom in every aspect of our life. I am a SAHM which works well because DH travels a lot. We don't have a cleaning or lawn service. We don't eat out very often except with travel. What we do have money for is retirement, college, private school, travel, sports/arts/music for the kids. I also read the "The Two Income Trap" by Elizabeth Warren a while back and another financial book that said for most people their biggest debt burden is their house. So it was a choice for us. We gave up DC because of the cost of housing. Good luck with your decisions OP. You are right the time with children goes by fast.[/quote]
