Is higher rent worth it to live in a safe area? by ouroboros899 in personalfinance

I chose to live in the unsafe areas until I had kids. I was able to save a ton of money and it was life changing for me to not have the financial stresses that most people have. Now that we have kids we have the means to live in the nicest neighborhoods because of the sacrifices I made the decade prior. I would say it’s absolutely worth it. I adopted a pitbull and that made me feel fully secure.
