That's actually more than my DH currently makes, with CA minimum wage. So yes.

HOWEVER--that's because our housing, utilities, and insurance are paid, too. So he gets benefits that push up the total package. Without that, we could probably do it (around $2500 a month) but it would be tight if we didn't move, since housing costs so much. I'd have to eat as cheaply as possible, and that would be hard for me--no more organic, for sure.

Also, I'd have to assume that we would still get WIC (that is gov't assistance), because otherwise I couldn't afford the formula.

And the kids would have to go to public school...
