[quote=Anonymous]I was a single mom to 3 kids in MoCo and had low income but didn’t live in subsidized housing or get SNAP. There were a few things that helped: - there was some childcare assistance that helped me finish my college degree and work - there’s WIC and we had supplemental fruit - There’s free medical insurance for the kids which also helps But I think moving more into middle income, where those things go away, some things that helped were: - My kids worked in high school - I have a lot of deferred maintenance on my house - I had older cars and at some point, went years without a car - The kids had limited sports, and certainly not expensive ones. - Public schools - No retirement savings for many years.
