[quote=Anonymous]OP,

I posted about Landsdowne,... but doing the math, I think you are in a bad situation financially.  If you get paid 71k, that's really only about 47k after taxes and deductions....

That comes to about 47000.  divided by 12 = $3964/mo.
   
1700    rent
300      utilities 
1200    daycare/preschool
400      food
300      transportation

3900  ---- you are right at your income.

Are you getting any child support?  I think maybe you would be better off with a smaller place

I don't know, OP.... your 71k income doesn't bode well for covering rent, daycare, food and life=happens expenses.

If you can raise that income it will definitely help, but you are still looking at a very small place. I think you are cutting yourself too close to the bone.  [/quote]
