Please share - curious - my sister thinks we are poor and it was dumb of me to quit. She is younger by 5 years and has much less but likes to criticize. I could have continued another 3-4 years or more but the politics and the gradually decreasing level of my staff (education, experience, communication, just overall) was demotivating.


Should I share my SSN as well?
Ages - 52, 51
NW - $3.7M (including house). Low per DCUM standards I know and HHI is even lower.
HHI - $200k now (from $425k as I just quit last week after 25 years when I turned 51 due to some chronic health issues).
Kid - 12 year old (in private school since age 5.

House was purchased for $500k two decades ago and value hasn’t moved much.About $700k. We’ve done $200k worth of improvements. New everything. We paid off our mortgage 5 years ago.

I would like to upgrade because I think our area is getting worse. DH is ok with that but wants to not spend a penny more than what we get for this house. I think we could afford a small mortgage even with private for a couple more years till middle. Sure we won’t save much but that’s OK. The houses I am looking at are about $1.2M.

After 50, think of paying property tax in retirement.

Net worth - About $6M (outside of house)
House - Bought for $450K in early 2000s; worth $800K. $300K mortgage. Vienna zip code.
HHI - $250K
Kids in college.

Question for DCUM: Should we sell our house and upgrade?

I wouldn’t upgrade now with kids out of the house. I’d become a snowbird and buy a second home, personally.

And/or wait for interest rates to come down and downsize the home and consider a 2nd home elsewhere.

For those of you with second homes at a warmer locale.. is it a SFH, townhouse or apartment? How much time do you spend at the second location? Who manages it when you are not there? How do you deal with issues that inevitably pop up? All things considered, is it more of a headache or a value add (non financial)?

45 and 41.

Net worth around $2.5M.

House worth around $1.9M, bought for $1.3M in 2016 but we've put probably $400k into it.

HHI around $1M the past two years.

3 kids under 10.

We spend way too much money, but income wasn't this high until a few years ago.
