[quote=Anonymous]We have 1.5 yo and 5 yo and feel the most content and happy right now as we ever have in the last 5 years. 1) We purchased a home last year that we feel we did not have to compromise on anything for and fits well within our budget (big enough, updated enough, family neighborhood, amazing schools, amazing community amenities etc) 2) We left the DC area to be closer to family that helps out! (moved to a Chicago burb) 3) Both Dh and I work 100% remote 4) We make a combined hhi of 400k+ but probably only work like 20-30 hours per week. 5) Our jobs are pretty low stress and with great employers who provide excellent benefits (both tech companies). We still struggle with the same things other parents of little ones do and it’s not erasure, but these things above make it SO much easier. Moving out of the DC area while maintaining our income has been key for so many reasons. The house we bought here for 800k would have cost 1.5k in an area of nova that would have had comparable schools. [/quote]
