I could use some insight/reality checks into what sort of budget a family living in the SB area might need.
My DP was just offered a one term teaching job there, which would be great for his overall career development, but doesn't really pay very much. So we'd be a family of four (3 y.o. and a baby) living on about $3000 net a month. Is that doable? I worry that housing costs would eat up so much of that amount that we wouldn't have enough left over.
I know it's horribly crass to talk about money like this, but I would love any frank insights you mamas might have.
