Well I have been taking the VRE for 2 months from Spotsy to DC. I drive 20 minutes to the train station and then it takes me a nice long chunk of time to get there. From door to door, I am commuting 5 hrs per day.

I like my new job, but I wish I didn't move to Spotsy. I moved to Spotsy to buy a home because I worked in Quantico and was renting in Woodbridge. I figured what the heck.

Then came the new job. I am making nearly 94k minus "child" support that I pay out in the amount of nearly 6 k per year wheras I was only making 58k per year - 6k in "child" support when I first bought the house.

I have a new wife and new kids.

I'd love to move a little further north, but everything still seems unaffordable.

No point in moving out of a house I just bought to just be able to afford Stafford.

Slugging is out for me. I have to commute all over dc to do my job.

Leaving Virginia and this job can't happen for personal reasons.

Any ideas?

Thanks
