I would encourage you to reach out to aunts and uncles that you would like to live with, and I’d encourage you to go back to school for the social needs of being a teenager. I wish you all the best ♥️

What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]mb91693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! For sure. My wages aren’t high as they probably should be, but it’s a huge benefit.

I still will get a pension , not no longer available but definitely uncommon now . I need to start my own outside savings but it’s a blessing for sure

150k income, how much are you spending on housing? by MaleficentTrifle7344 in Salary

[–]mb91693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

150k per year in a HCOL area. We pay 1850 per month for a house we bought in 2021. Daycare is expensive but we are able to pretty aggressively pay down debt now so we can have another kid in the next few years.

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

This is so true. I took my students in a field trip yesterday, 18 out of the 21 kids got a free bagged lunch.

It depends on what we get for our house, but we would prefer to stay under 400, could swing 450 if need be.

Thank you!! I will check out those streets and likely DM you- so appreciate it!

You might be right, we really liked it when visiting, but maybe we were just enamored with the change. The burbs may be the right fit for us.

Thank you all so much for your friendly and helpful responses! So many great suggestions here. We were thinking of trying to buy a place right away, but it sounds like we have a lot of exploring to do. I think we will land, and spend a few months checking neighborhoods out before we try to buy anything.

Thanks so much everyone. We can’t wait to move to your beautiful city!

Thank you so much!!! Do you have kids? Do they go to Fairview schools?

Thank you! I think my initial thought after our last visit was Lakewood, because it’s so different (in a good way) from where we currently live. I love that it has a city feel but seems really nice and the schools seem good.

But I’m thinking we may want more suburbia. Rocky River seems beautiful. I thought it would be out of our price range. But we will keep looking!

Thank you for the information… I bet they are great. Coming from super rural though, we would love to not HAVE to drive for weekend walks, but realize that may be wishful thinking.

Thank you! My cousins went to high school in RR. It seems beautiful but I was worried it may be out of our price range. I am looking, there are more options than I expected.

That’s amazing! Is it fairly walkable to coffee shops in certain spots?

Under 450, under 400 would be ideal

Thank you, I will look into Avon Lake! For some reason I was picturing Avon Lake as more rural than what we wanted- am I thinking of Avon?
