[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for your feedback.

I do wonder how good are the public schools in DC area really?  Are they best in the country?  Are they competitive with European education?

I wouldn't necessary settle down in DC. I was thinking of just living there while DC goes to school, renting, and then moving back to the low cost of living.[/quote]

You are delusional.  If you want the "city life" then you are renting in the most expensive parts of the city, probably in a 1 bedroom, a 2 bedroom if you are lucky.  If you live in Silver Spring or Bethesda that is not "city living."  Are there wonderful things about those communities?  Of course.  But ultimately it is a lot like suburban living in a lot of ways.  So you move from a nice house into a tiny, a cheap one bedroom in Upper NW (west of the park, of course), and then you are talking not just about a COL adjustment but a quality of life adjustment.  If you spend 15+ years renting that is 15+ years that you are not building equity in a home.  You need to be more creative about the job search and think more holistically about your life and what is best for your family.  You made choices to move and to stay at home for a reason - it sounds to me like you are now trying to pin the results of those choices solely on your husband, which is patently not fair.  [/quote]
