[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family of 4 making exactly that amount. We work opposite shifts to avoid childcare costs. We don't feel poor but my kids know we aren't rich. We have to watch our money carefully, don't go out to eat very often, our trips aren't fancy and obviously I clean my own house. The biggest factor here is the house. In our 20s (2012) we were able to buy a foreclosure for cheap and slowly renovate it. Those houses all get snapped up by either flippers or LLCs, even foreign ones, who rent them out. This shouldn't be legal. It's impossible for young couples who aren't wealthy to buy their own houses.[/quote] It's pretty hard to find jobs on opposite schedules like that. And given that you still need to sleep, it couldn't have been a great situation for the kids during the day.[/quote]
