[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moira. Just the one. [/quote] HHI = $150k. DH is a teacher and you are a graphic designer who works for government contractors. You are both introverts, but little Moira has brought you out of your shells in a nice way you did not anticipate. You aren't really cut out for the DC area because you're not into politics, so you wonder some times why you pay all that money for renting your small one-bederoom in Adams Morgan. You dream about moving to Boulder. You will never move to Boulder because Moira will get into Yu Ying and you'll just decide to stay put. You will start feeling vaguely depressed about never really becoming part of the middle class, because hey, you both have graduate degrees! But don't worry, you will soon buy a small bungalow in Brightwood/Manor Park (walking distance to Takoma Rec Center). You will pay for the downpayment with the inheritance DH will receive when his grandmother dies this month -- she socked away enough to leave her three grandchildren $200,000 each by careful savings and investing in value stocks. The home will turn out to be a great investment when they put in the new Red Line Bypass metro stop in Brightwood just five minutes from your house in 2017. The Red Line Bypass solves the problem of the crazy U-shaped redline that causes a trip from Dupont Circle to Takoma Park to take 45 minutes. The Bypass will connect Takoma Park with Dupont Circle, and will include intermediary stops in Brightwood and Adams Morgan at Florida and 18th St (thus solving the additional problem of Adams Morgan's relative lack of metro accessibility.) Also, Coolidge High School, which borders the Rec Center, will begin to host a tested-entrance IB program, thus immediately turning it into the hottest high school in the city. These factors will cause your home, which you will purchase for $535k, to rapidly increase in value, and you will sell it for $1.8 million in 2028 after Moira graduates from Coolidge. You will retire to a small lake house near Quebec City, due to global warming. THE END [/quote] Oh yeah, here is your house: http://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/5927-3rd-St-NW-20011/home/10066800 [/quote] Not Moira's mom, but as a homeowner in Brightwood, I love your vision for the future. ;-)[/quote]
