hi everyone, i'll try to be brief. I'm going through a separation right now and my children and I are living in a 3bdrm apartment in an awful neighborhood paying $1550 a month. Now that I'll only have my income (55K) that's too much rent and so I wanted to rent a 2 bedroom in a better neighborhood. My dilemma is that I am in the process of fixing my credit to eventually get my kids the home they deserve, I am not even close to the 3% down payment I'll need, it may take 2 years at least. My question is, should I just stay in the 3 bedroom apt. (we saw 4 waterbugs this morning...yuck!) and save the $2000 I have started to save for the downpayment so it can accumulate OR use that $2000 to move to a better area in a downsized 2 bedroom and start all over again saving. Sorry if this sounds silly, I'm just confused and at a breakdown point. Thanks for you advice, I want to do whats best for my kids and buy them a home.
