[quote=Anonymous]Yikes!  OP here ... I guess as a newcomer to DCUM I didn't realize where this thread could wander.

While there have been some very helpful responses re: my original questions about what to expect for an imputed wage (as a low-earner) and ranges of awards possible, it's been surprising to see some of the suggestions (akin to "move" or "get paid more" presented as simple solutions).  We do expect to contribute financially and live frugally (likely in an area many respondents have not ventured to visit yet) to do so.  I appreciated the suggestion about making plans to contribute as possible to the school fund, for example.

Given how the conversation meandered, here are some things to consider:
-- No my husband who has spent his whole childhood / adulthood training for his field cannot just up and change to make more money ... and as a public servant, you wouldn't want him to either :)
-- Yes, homeschooling can be a choice.  Sometimes it seems less of a choice given where you live, what your family needs, etc.
-- For those suggesting part-time work ... It would be great to see more options there for professionals (even those of us in low-paying fields).  For those of you in position to hire, consider it.  Think how amazing it would have been to share a job during the pandemic squeeze.

Thank you![/quote]
