[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I offered. She says no. We just bought the house 10 months ago. She's not willing to do anything radical like that. I would certainly be reluctant to, as well. [/quote]
Just wondering why you didn't think these things through. I know a lot of couples who saddle themselves with this expensive lifestyle and then have children and feel utterly trapped. [/quote]

I think couples don't realize how they will feel after having kids.  My husband and I are buying a home we can afford on one salary.  [/quote]
So is one of you a law partner or did u elect for poor schools or hellish commute? People aren't spending gobs of money for most homes here, a modest home with good schools takes two incomes. You seem pretty high on yourself but the core complaint of this expensive lifestyle is the exorbitant cost of basic housing. [/quote]

We moved here from a more expensive city and it seems rather reasonable to us.  We bought a rowhouse for a little over 700 on a 320ish salary.  Seems reasonable to us.  We do not have kids and our commute is less than 30 minutes. [/quote]

NP. Well bully for you.  Unless you also know how to time-travel, how is this helpful?[/quote]
