[quote=Anonymous]We live in a upscale neighborhood, a great schools, safe, inside the beltway. ...on a much lower income than most. Our house is paid off and we don't outsource much. No maids, no nanny, no gardner, husband fixes plumbing, household repairs and even fixes our cars. Not many neighbors are 'self sufficient' like us. We work less 'job' hours but we have to spend a lot of time maintaining the house, lawn, kids, etc. Everything is a trade off money for time, time for money. That being said we have trained our kids on car maintenance, yard maintenance and even some home repairs so they will have the skills in life. I think it's pathetic how helpless most people are in the DMV. Being helpless and unable to fix stuff is expensive - many are working to support a big house and expenses, maids, childcare - it's a hamster cage.[/quote]
