[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Our house is extremely modest and too small for a family of 5" -- yet it's worth $800K.

I don't understand this. How can something be "extremely modest" and cost $800K? We are a family of 5 living in a 3BR condo in Columbia Heights like this one, on the market for $325k, and we're doing ok.

I can't wrap my head around the numbers the OP is saying. Holy moly, you earn more than three times what we do and you burn through SO MUCH every month.[/quote]

I agree. Our house cost $640k, has four bedrooms, and is metro accessible. We have a smaller mortgage payment than op and one car. Similar income but no debt. One sacrifice we made was living on a busy road - for us it was worth it. But op does not seem to want to make any sacrifices.[/quote]

Do you have any pets? Can your children play safely in your yard? What are your public schools like? OP's home seems to be somewhere they are going to stay, and I don't blame her. It may be small, but with three kids and two dogs, I certainly wouldn't recommend living on a busy street or giving up a good school district for busy dangerous streets with toddlers and elementary aged children and pets![/quote]
