[quote=Anonymous]I think this is probably doable but I echo the earlier poster who suggested you try living on this budget first. Figure out what your monthly payment would be, also budget a "worst case" childcare scenario, total those two numbers, subtract your rent, and try to save the resulting figure for several consecutive months. Then buy. To the poster who thinks a 30K increase in salary is unreasonable to bank on, not necessarily if you're a federal worker. I got a large bump when my salary grade increased, and I knew exactly when it would happen and how much the raise would be almost two years before it became official.[/quote]
