[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does that work? Is one spouse responsible for paying the entire mortgage and another rent on a condo or something?? 
Do you split the cost of both?
This really sucks for people who can't take on another $2,000 a month payment easily[/quote]

$2000 a month?  What are you renting a one bedroom apartment?  Anyone who's an adult, or someone with kids, will need a home not an apartment.  I'm in mid 40s there is no way my stuff would fit even in a two bedroom apartment.  Also, $2000 around here gets you nothing.  Don't forget other costs: water, gas, electric, internet, cell phone service, food, etc.  It's not just the rent you're paying extra...and it adds up.  In my area old split level homes are renting for almost $4000!  These are also tear down homes developers are buying.[/quote]

Temporarily one spouse could rent a one bedroom but not permanently with kids and the cost will be more. 
But as an adult, in my mid-40s, as soon as my kids are in college, I am moving to a one-bedroom apartment![/quote]

Your kids aren't really out of the house when they are in college.  There are still summers, weekends, and holidays, and then there's the year or so that many live at home after college.  My oldest stayed with me for about 6 months after he graduated while he looked for places to live.  They won't be able (or won't want to) stay with you if you have a one bed room apartment.  Just something to think about...[/quote]
