[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single parent in DC. I have a higher salary than yours, but it's hard for me to think of a kid who lives that close to the Smithhsonians as deprived. There are tons of free activities for kids every weekend. The Folger also has some. There are tons of playgrounds that are a quick bus ride away, if you tire of the one nearby. Keep your child too busy to pine for what they dont have. Its true that you save a lot of money and time by mot having a car and by being close to work, which is really important with a child of 5. You have telework and vacation days, that helps with the big expense, which is childcare when school is out. It is also true that over time, for long term security, you may want a better salary to rent ratio. This may come from a better salary from a better job or lower rent in another area, but those changes dont have to be today.[/quote]
