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

I thought the answer was to buy goods on the internet and not base spending on your salary?

Exactly. The same amount of money does not have the same purchasing power in certain areas. $150,000 in a low COL area will get a person a different quality of home than $150,000 in a high COL area. You get more bang for your buck in a low COL area.

I live a few hours from the bay area and the difference is almost as drastic.

But there must be an col equalizer...according to this week's NYC restaurant poster.
