[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived here with one kid and $100k in Ashburn and that shit was tight, Ashburn isn't some other state. A decent townhouse is still $2300 a month. At $185k with two it's comfortable. [/quote] op here: He accepted a job for 95k . We will rent an apartment instead of buying, so that we have flexibility to make adjustments in case his job changes. I think we will just have one car and I will drop him off to work. He found a job in Reston so it's perfect :) [/quote] It will be VERY VERY tight but doable. He'll either need a raise or you'll need to work if you ever want to buy a place and/or take vacations/save for retirement, etc. When I first started SAH, DH made $165k and our mortgage was about $1700/month for a 3 br townhouse. It was totally comfortable but not much left over. We couldn't buy a SFH or ramp up college savings until he broke $250k.[/quote] op: why will is be VERY VERY tight? [/quote]
