Agreed.  If it were a choice between real estate investment and a stable 9-5 I'd choose the 9-5, but it looks like your choice is between real estate investment and flushing more money down the graduate degree hole.  Take whatever amount you would spend on his Master's and put it to this endeavor instead, it will give him something to do, a way to contribute, and have a better chance of returning value than a second graduate degree for a 50-something early retiree.

That said, even though your planned Master's program is "directly related to" your career, you should think long and hard about whether it will actually pay off to get another degree this late in your career.  Maybe taking the cost of both potential degrees and putting it toward your husband's new real estate venture will be a good way to get on the same page as a team.[/quote]
