>>>The jist of the article was that if you really wanted to be a single provider family, you could do it. It was just a lot of work...
I'm sorry for assuming you were implying that to me. I read it just fine but read into it.
And no, maybe the situation is state specific; but we can't get by on a single provider. No, we are not living above our means either. We live in New Socialist Jersey where income is redistributed.
Accepted....and....I really do feel for your position.
I know it's tough. The article was about a Mill valley family in Marin county....the 1st or 2nd richest county in the country.... the median house price is close to $800,000 for a shack....so hubby probably had a very, very good job.......I don't care,I'm retired!
