[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make $130,000 and have one DD. I dont understand why you cant manage?
[b]We have a small SFH that cost 360,000 we pay a mortage on,[/b] My 2007 Honda is paid off but DW's newer Ford is not. We can't afford private school and DD attends the local ES which happens to be a Focus school that so far we are happy with.
But we travel twice a year, DD gets to do swimming, gymnastics etc and goes to nice summer camps for a few weeks each summer. We like to go to shows so we do that when a show comes along we want to see. 
We don't eat out a lot mainly due to us both doing shift work but we do when we want to and have the time. We get together with friends at each others houses or go for hikes with other families.
I don't compare my life to those making $500,000, it would drive me crazy. We have a nice life and i am happy with it.

when did you buy it?[/quote]

Right? Dear lord, I purchased a rambler built in 1955 with no updates in Sterling Virginia back in 2004 for 359k.to get the same thing now, you'd have to go to West Virginia. Not even exaggerating. [/quote]

Op don’t listen to this. Search Redfin - hundreds of homes sub 350-400 in this area. [/quote]

One SFH in Fairfax under 400. Its a tear down. 1 in Reston, 3 in Sterling, 0 in Springfield, 0 in Burke.

I'm not even going to look close in, waste of time. Where are these hundreds?

I cant speak to Maryland.  All of my potential jobs are in Northern Virginia.[/quote]
