[quote=Anonymous]Single mom of two. I live in a lower COL area of the DMV. This has been essential. We have all the benefits of living in this great area but we can live affordably and most importantly are surrounded by people who are more like us. Some people in the neighborhood could move to a more expensive area but choose not to bc they live it here. Others work for non-profits or less lucrative careers or they are artists and enjoy the freedom a lower COL area provides. Finding like-minded other parents to team up with has been essential to surviving. They keep me sane and we all help each other out when needed. Also, when the kids were little, they shared a room and we had housemates. This worked out well and provided free babysitting and pet sitting ( this was part of the arrangement). As they’ve gotten older and I’ve made more $ the housemates moved out and they each have their own rooms now. Don’t try to keep up with other people. Run your own race.[/quote]
