[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so bad for OP’s husband, trying to negotiate with someone who is so histrionic + irrational. [/quote] She says there is no room to cut back due to their frugal (albeit with travel) lifestyle. It would have to come from a home equity loan since they can’t afford it otherwise. Those old cars are going to need to be replaced sooner than later. How old is the water heater and hvac? [/quote] I meant there aren’t any obviously frivolous expenses to cut in order to bolster the case (such as tuition, cleaning service, landscaping, luxury cars, etc.). My point is that we live frugally and have savings and aren’t over-extended, no that we are living paycheck to paycheck. HVAC is top of the line and is newer than the house. Ditto for water heater. Both are well maintained. I think we will end up tackling the two biggest projects separately using cash. [/quote]
