[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-yes, I would like to at least retire early (maybe 55) but DH anticipates he won’t want to, which is fine. We are leaning towards putting some in investment/some in house renovation which neither of us is completely happy about but I guess that means it’s a fair solution/good compromise. Also, never moving to Reno! :lol: [/quote] OP again-also reading the Millenial Money - House Poor in Fairfax forum https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1190226.page makes me fearful of being a millennial who doesn’t use their money wisely and puts too much money in their house.[/quote] Those people are genuinely struggling. You’re just bragging . In what way are your situations similar?[/quote] Op-The couple in Fairfax makes good money. The general consensus in the forum/youtube was that the mortgage was a big chunk of their take home pay. Our mortgage is already 35% of our take home pay (after withholding/retirement) so I worry about putting too much money in a house vs saving for our future. [/quote] Those people are paying a hefty mortgage without saving for retirement or anything else. You’re doing both. How is this the same?[/quote]
