[quote=Anonymous]You say you have the money for this but how much do you truly understand about the family finances? Because being the sole breadwinner is very stressful. I am very aware of the need to fund college educations and retirement. It takes way more money than you would think. $175k that I had would not go into a kitchen and house updated. It would be invested for the long term. It sounds like your DH handles the money. You may have very different visions of whether you have adequate money to be safe and can take on this discretionary expense. Someone mentioned autistic like traits. I can tell you I have an autistic family member who is extremely upset by any change that is proposed in living conditions. Once it happens, he is fine with it and even can enjoy it. But thinking about his familiar safe place changing is extraordinarily stressful. Your DH may not even be able to articulate what about this stresses him out.[/quote]
