[quote=Anonymous]Having kids before of after buying the house isn't really the point people seem to be making. When I read the replies, what I mostly see is people saving up for a long period of time before buying their home. Sure it's easier without children, but it can be done with children, too. I think that's the advice the OP needs to takeaway from this thread. You can't just decide one day, "I want to buy a house in the DC area." For most people, it takes years of planning and saving. And that means sacrifices - whether it's forgoing fancy dinners, private oboe lessons or settling on a smaller, older home, it is what it is in DC. With or without kids, you need to cut down your expenses and save up over a period of a few years. And then you will have your downpayment. [/quote]
