[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't afford a mortgage on take home of 12k per month? Sure you can.

You should be stashing a ton of money for yourself, at your current income. Prepare for divorce. It sounds like he is. Pay for childcare so you can study for the exam, if that is of importance right now.[/quote]

$12K a month is my family's entire gross pay and we're not badly off. There's zero reason to have money problems (either needing a provider OR complaining about someone not putting their weight on that income.[/quote]

OP here. Decent houses in the area where we would both like to live start at around $2m. So my $12k take-home pay (before taxes) will not go far. But I agree, I should not aspire to live in that expensive place.[/quote]

Op will you be working for the same company in the new, expensive place? You said that you teach, tutor and practice law. Do you have your own practice or do you work for a practice in your current town? Will you be able to keep the job? Same with the tutoring and teaching? You can’t rely on your dh to provide for you if he wants to divorce you. He will be obligated to pay child support but not alimony. You may have always wanted to live in this new expensive place but it sounds more like a wish than a solid plan. You can live lots of nice places on 12,000 a month but places where homes are $2 million likely have high rents. Also, you have your child in private school. If you continue that, you will have those expenses. I really think you need to reconsider the move [/quote]
