How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

Seriously, it's one of the first places that comes to mind when I think of a high COL area. NY, Chicago, SF.

Similar for us. We need an airport, phone and good internet connection, and we are good to go.

Because it's actually possible for people who live in East Pig's Knuckle, Iowa to grasp the concept that people living in New York have a higher cost of living than they do. But perhaps it's simply an indictment of the lower educational standards of other areas of the country rather than a compliment to the exceedingly high intelligence of those from East Pig's Knuckle, Iowa.

Could you email me? I have a question, but don't think it's appropriate for the board. :)

if those decisions 'forced' them to stay home then they didn't have the luxury of CHOOSING....

it's not about sAH or WOH it's about being fortunate enough to have choices -- which as you surely know -- so many do not.

Sniff, one of my good friends from my Congregation left this area because that is all her family needed for their business and they couldn't afford a house in these parts. They are now in Ohio.

I'll attest to the intelligence of those in East Pig's Knuckle, Iowa - and the relative cheap COL there. My Mom's hometown is just down the road in Northwest Pig's Knuckle. Iowa has always had a highly literate population.
