[quote=Anonymous]I think with your stats, I'd start from what do you want - how many BDs, how much space, what neighborhood. You have some flexibility. I intentionally live in a smaller house than I can otherwise afford b/c I don't want to HAVE to get a high paying job to service my mortgage if I lose my current job. Read the two-income trap. You have enough savings that you could make a different choice for sure. I prefer to take lots of vacations during the year that can at times be expensive, and have a lot of flexibility that is not tied up in my home. I think you have enough money that you should instead ask yourself where do you want to live and how, and then see if you are comfortable with it. I also wonder how old you are, if any of your $3.8M is in tax-advantaged retirement vehicles, are you losing funds to inflation etc. [/quote]
