[quote=Anonymous]This a question that can be answered, but only by you. You need to think carefully about where you want to live, how you want to raise kids, and what you want to spend. As you have observed, there are people who are spending 300 or 400k and think they are just barely affording what they want and value. Other people are living on a faction of this number. You need to understand what your goals are.

I would never consent to not working (I like to feel independent and like to work), so my big question was never price point but gender roles: Is this a man who believes in equity? Is this a man who wants to be has hand's on about raising kids as I am?

The man I married negotiated a new job where he stayed home for 4 hours while our child was little. They took long walks in the morning, before the nanny arrived. The moment the workday was gone, they were pack together again. I've never felt alone with housework and parenting. I put a huge dollar value on this, because it makes a two income household sustainable.[/quote]
