[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Report back after you are married and have kids.[/quote]

This is a NP - of course things are going to change when OP has kids.  However, her frugal ways will benefit her greatly once she is married with kids.  I say this a frugal single parent.  We are going just fine on an income that most of DCUM would find completely abysmal.   OP will make it work because she knows how to be frugal and knows what is really important in life.  Not money and material items.[/quote]

Another NP single mom-- I also raise my kids on an income that's far below what DCUM has declared enough for ONE person. We're not living large, by any means, and of course, I'd love to have more money. But, we live in a safe, friendly neighborhood with good public schools. Our house is very small; our car is inexpensive but safe. When I come home tired from work, I make something quick, or I heat up something I prepared in advance. We do go out to eat a few times a month, but I don't do takeout. Not everyone is the same, DCUM.  :wink: [/quote]

Where is this magical neighborhood, and how long is your commute? [/quote]
