OP here. Around 5M.

To answer some other questions, yes he does enjoy being handy and doing home improvement projects. But I also know he doesn’t want to spend the money.[/quote]

OK, $5M is obviously a lot of money but relatively a small amount given your HHI, your ages, and your kids' young ages. Meaning, retirement sooner rather than later and college still to come. So maybe your DH is fearful about funding those big life events, or maybe he has goals he hasn't fully communicated to you that he feels far from achieving (e.g. retiring at 50 with a more luxurious lifestyle, paying for private undergrad and grad school, inheritance for future grandchildren). You guys need a talk, if only to be clear on your wants, needs, short-term and long-term goals. Also to reassure him that you don't want to buy $200 sweaters daily or African safaris monthly. Hack, he might have a health issue you don't know about that might cut down his working years.[/quote]

NP. Really, 5 million is not a lot of money for 2 40 year olds??

Exactly. The delusion throughout this forum is real.
I’m find this surprising. Do most 40 year olds have 5 million in savings? [/quote][/quote]
