[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like OP's DH is an AUSA or a DOJ/Main Justice guy, am I right? Sorry but there are guys over there OBSESSED with being on the "right side" and some work really hard for no money compared to what they could make in private practice or even the financial agencies. I'd keep fighting about it - esp since he did agree that he'd go into private practice if necessary. You need to make him realize it's necessary. What about the kids' college? Since you're still in a small apartment, I'm guessing college isn't a huge priority? Is that really ok with him given that he's an ivy undergrad and law grad? Maybe a reason like that lights a fire under him more than home ownership bc lots of guys do see a home as a chore -- i.e. shoveling snow; yard work etc.[/quote]

I imagine we have different definitions of "necessary."[/quote]

I'm the PP you're quoting - yes - I'm sure we do. I have the same type of education as OP's DH and to me it is "necessary" to provide an ivy undergrad and grad education to my own kids - with me fully funding or funding it at such a level that their loans are pretty low. I also think healthy retirement savings and maximizing general savings is also necessary.[/quote]
