[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think we should do modest improvements now and enjoy them for 5-7 years[\quote]

I think this is the key.  My mom would say when you fix up your home to sell, you don't get the full amount back of that kitchen or basement so better you do it earlier and get to enjoy it.  I'm surprised your spouse doesn't want the finished basement.  When kids come to visit, they love to head to the basement.  When not a kids playground, it is espn/sports on the weekend.  Would the vision of a nice tv at the end of the tunnel tempt him?ndonyou have relatives visit and have the possibility of a guest room down there?  Could you get him to agree if you could do it within a certain budget?  The kitchen may be a tougher sell if he thinks things are fine.  Basement has the kids, man-cave, office, possible guest room, large screen tv - something for everyone.  The kitchen primarily impacts the person cooking and washing dishes.  If you are the primary cook, maybe you can work the angles of preparing family meals and improving that experience.
