[quote=Anonymous]We moved here from Florida. My husband got a job here making $42,000 (before taxes) with benefits like health insurance, life insurance, etc. I was a SAHM because of a special needs toddler (plus another child). We owned a townhouse (mortgage not owned really) in Montgomery County. One new car and one beater. Sacrifices of course were all meals from scratch, only food on sale, thrift store clothing (underwear and socks bought at Walmart), no vacations, no nights out, no eating out. No savings or retirement. But we survived. Sometimes you do what you have to do.[/quote]
