[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We are undecided on location and the biggest question is finding similarly lucrative careers outside the NE corridor, which I’m not fond of.  We aren’t worried about a support system. No family close to us here and that’s fine with us. We are happy to pay for childcare, which is good and plentiful in DC.  Thanks for your help. [/quote]

Usually, people accept a pay cut in return for better standard of living and a lower cost of living. Expecting the same pay in an area with lower cost of living is equivalent to expecting a pay raise for leaving. It’s completely possible, but will severely limit your choices. We left manhattan for a mountain town, and many of our friends have also left the city. However, we didn’t leave until we had enough to retire. Switching kids from ny private school to private school out here is saving us $80k a year post tax alone. The first five years of owning two cars here vs parking one car in the city is more expensive, but not by much. The burn rate in the city is insane.[/quote]
