[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of these options sound as nice as my life in Glover Park in DC - guess that's why this area is so expensive - you get what you pay for.[/quote] I agree that "You get what you pay for." That is one of the reasons I left-- In the DMV I was "paying" for positives I never used. Large metro area with great museums, restaurants and world class activities-- as a dual income professional household with young kids, we were too busy and tired to take advantage of most of these more than 2-3 times per year. And I was sick of "paying" for them in the form of high real estate costs and long commutes. The things I care about are this: Well paid professional jobs for me and DH. Good schools. Reasonable commute. We found all of this in a place with a much lower cost of living. So we moved. DC is a great place to live. But not a great place for our family. [/quote]
