[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whole lot of “I” in your OP. Does your wife work? Does she get a say in household priorities for money and budgeting?[/quote] OP here. I say I but we are a team. - She quit working when she had our first child. She wants to stay home with our kids while they’re young. - She runs the household. We have a joint checking account and she can spend as she pleases. We run big purchases by each other, but she has full control. I handle most of the finances and bill paying and she handles ordering items for the household, paying for doctors costs, paying for kids outings, etc. [/quote] Ok so the savings you would be putting toward a down payment include your wife’s earnings. The income available is larger because you have no childcare expenses. [b]You[/b] are not buying the house, you and your wife are. Make an offer on the house and apologize to your wife for belittling her contributions.[/quote]
