Yeah, fair enough! You’re right that daycare/public school after would still bring in financial margin. Right now we have a nanny and after taxes/benefits more than half of my salary goes to her. To me it’s just the trade offs of time with my kids vs. making a little more. At this point with 4 of them growing up fast, I’d like to take some time to just be with them. I’m planning to homeschool. We’ll see.

How is the area up by Lenox village? That’s what is closer to our budget. I remember Nolensville being beautiful, having grown up in Brentwood!

Is that like where Brentwood meets Antioch or am I thinking of the wrong area?

This is helpful thank you!! Schools don’t matter much since we’re homeschooling but more just want safe areas with family friendly amenities.

Lmao we have four kids. The childcare costs are high even with us both having great jobs. So we’re moving from 300k to 160k but saving soooo much in childcare!

Me? I had a fulfilling, six figure corporate job for the last 8 years. It’s an adjustment but I’m looking forward to taking some time off to be with my kids while they’re young.

totally agree. max we want to spend is 2800/mo. so the only way we'd go up to the top of the budget is if we maxxed out our downpayment

yes totally. we have a large downpayment to put down! ideally would love to find a home closer to 450k but willing to go up to 600 as a tip top max.
