[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds like a perfectly nice person, and it's great that she is trying to educate herself, but I have to admit even though I am in the 1%, that there is something grating about someone coming on the site who has a single earner income of $350k in their 30s asking for financial advice.  It's not even first world problems-- it's problems of the .1%.  Sorry I try to not post negatively but I thought it might be relevant to some of the other negative posts.[/quote]

OP here, I do understand this is a 1st world problem and I know there are many more important things in life.  Right now we are about to make the biggest financial decision of *our* life so I'm just trying to make sure we are headed down the right path.

I'm not sure if this helps you understand our situation, but dh has been a resident and fellow for the first 7 years of our marriage.  We lived very minimally- small apts, ikea or garage sale furniture, thrift store finds for the kids.  The last two years that he has been out of training, we still lived minimally and tried to pay off the bulk of his enormous student loans (college and med school) and all of mine (just college).

Now we are in a good place and I am very thankful for that and this is our next step.  To the PP that said let Dh handle the finances- he works around 80 hours a week and they didn't teach anything about finances in med school or during his years of residency.  He pretty much had to just learn his trade and survive the sleepless nights.  He's a fantastic and dedicated doctor, but managing finances is not his thing.  I've been trying my best to take care of things at home.

OP you have nothing to apologize for. Most of the real estate posts are about houses in your price ranges and people who want to spend less than 600K and told they are insane and their kids will be doomed to bad schools.

You are jsut as deserving of financial advice as anyone else. [/quote]
