[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you bought the wrong house. [/quote]

+1. Why would you move into a house that "needs a lot of work" and then not want to do the work? This happened to me (at a MUCH lower price point) and I'm still bitter about it. We bought a nice but older home well under budget. Young naive me thought it was OBVIOUS the house would need updates over time (livable but just very 90's/early 2000's dated.) Spouse apparently thought he found a great sale and could just pocket the change. Talk about a breakdown of marital communication!! I am still in this house 12 years later and we have only updated paint, light fixtures and faucets. Bathrooms and kitchen are still the same as when we moved in. We can EASILY afford the remodel in cash but spouse just wants nothing to do with it. When youngest graduates in 3 years I plan to start shopping for a house that is basically already "done." I'd prefer to just remodel where we are, but that's not who I am married to. Sigh.

What does your spouse think/expect OP? What was discussed when purchasing the home?
