[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our HHI was around 110K when I started to stay home.  I worked part-time some years (making around 15K), but much of the time I'm taking care of one of our ailing parents in addition to kids.  HHI is now closer to 135K.  We have set aside for college and retirement.    Vacations were always going to be visiting family anyway.

Live in DC, mortgage (all in) is 2K on a row home (purchased in 2008).  We aren't big spenders on clothing or cars (1 car family as we're downtown).  Preschool is a co-op.  We do some classes, but the schedule isn't packed.  We spend a ton of time walking the city, utilizing parks and the abundant free entertainment that DC offefs.  We've never felt it was too tight, but know we live more modestly than many of our peers.    [/quote]

Are you planning to win the chart a lottery, or are your inbound D CPS schools good all the way through high school[/quote]

Locals are not a good option for us.  Oldest is in private, youngest is at a co-op.  I'm back to part time and will transition to full time next year.  Depending on where the finances settle, we'll stay and keep them in private or move out of the area completely.  TBD.  [/quote]
