[quote=Anonymous]We had two kids in two bedroom condo!  Le horror!

We then moved to a 3 bedroom townhouse — which they loved and miss even though once we had a 3rd we needed a house.

In this climate a yard is a bit overrated.  But I would prioritize having a SFH when kids are in elementary school and start play dates and such — townhouse parking and no yard does matter then.  You might have to commute like many people do.

Your DH earning 4% annual raises will eventually pass your Fed salary, so better get ready to handover the Breadwinner crowd, and in private he can be promoted eventually without having to apply and interview like you.

Now if he wants to swing for the fences and try to double his salary or get a 50-70% pay bump, albeit likely with much less involvement as a father; that’s a reasonable plan if he is onboard. I am a Fed and wanted to do that to make my spouse able to go part time, but big leaps in salary are hard except in a few fields.  And it sounds like he is not really onboard. [/quote]
