[quote=Anonymous]Short answer, this is super cheap. I live more "extravagantly" than this on $185k. My question, for both you and your husband, is what do you want to do with your money? What's it for? You're sitting on $5 million. How much of that do you see as being your "cushion" if anything goes wrong (like your income drops), how much is retirement, how much do you want to pass along to your kids? Money is not just numbers on a bank statement, it's a tool to be used. I think starting there would be your best bet. Because if the answer becomes, well, it's for retirement, and actually, we're putting away more than we need to have the kind of retirement we want, then you've just got money sitting there going to waste. And when you have money that you've identified that you, essentially, have no use for, than it becomes easier to have a conversation about how you would like to use it (outsourcing chores, nicer vacations, house maintenance, etc).
