[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say “he seemed ok with it” doesn’t mean he really was ok with it. Judging that he’s bringing it up again, he’s not ok with it. 
Maybe to him, it seems like your stalling buying a house and he worries he will be stuck in an apartment forever never getting equity. Obviously, you just moved so you may have a lease your locked into currently. Maybe talk to a financial planner who knows a real estate person together, let the expert look at your specific numbers, and they can give you some expert advice. Might be the best money spent.

OP here. I don’t think his is it. We have rented and collectively decided buying a house wouldn’t make sense until we had multiple kids. We enjoy living in the city and don’t want to move to the suburbs until we need to. He think wasting the money ( rent is $6000/month on rent + utilities) is a lot and we could use that to build equity in a condo. I don’t think the condo is a smart purchase and the monthly payment will be same. We have done research and it just doesn’t make sense to buy a condo and resell. That will lead to a longer commute and we will lose a lot of the amenities we have now.

$6000/month on rent? That’s crazy. [/quote]

OP here. The building is a high rise in a very expensive area. It’s within 1 mile of our jobs and comes with a lot of amenities - safety features that make me feel safe when he travels for work, a huge gym, an indoor poor, a entire floor of business suites to work out of, big entertaining spaces for when family/friends come to visit, a big children’s play room, package delivery, and Target and Whole Foods is within two blocks of us. I feel like we have so many amenities and we don’t really have to go anywhere or spend extra on gym memberships. We can work from home and not have to be in the apartment all day. When we hire childcare, they will be able to utilize the big play room ( almost always empty). I like that it makes my life easier with having a newborn. [/quote]
