[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. And furthermore, you are having to put things like water heaters and a fence on your credit card, which means you can't afford them with cash. [/quote] But according to the OP they do have 200K+ in "stocks." Why can't they sell some of it to pay off credit cards and/or pay for household repairs?[/quote] They probably just don't want to. With an HHI of 230k, they could have paid for those repairs with cash, but it's easier to put it on a credit card and forget about it than have your freed up money gobbled up by a huge expense. OP, I do think if you are the one who is steering this boat, financially, you need to take a financial management course or something. You just make very silly choices with your money and you two make WAY too much money to be in this predicament. And I'm no saint when it comes to money either, believe me, but I'd never put a home repair on a credit card when I was bringing in 230K. [/quote]
