Default Re: Is it OK to do that?

I agree with much of what others have said re: advice for getforfree. Don't overpay mortgage, don't try to fudge income by taking a day off work to qualify, and good luck to you. I am contemplating moving to Cali with only one kid. It must be hard to survive there with 3 kids. Sounds like you are a diligent saver and I'm glad you've been able to get WIC until now. Oh, and congrats on the raise.

But for folks who don't take gov't assistance because of pride: I have to say I strongly disagree with you. We pay the gov't to provide certain services, including aid if we ever need it. I would also take whatever I qualified for (no more, no less).
