[quote=Anonymous]You know what? People are ridiculous around here. I know a family that makes around 250K, husband and wife are equal earners, no student loans, 1 kid in daycare - who deprive themselves of really basic, basic things so the husband can direct all of their savings into retirement. Of course, the guy is so uptight that he will probably drop dead of a heart attack well before then.

200k, in the absence of student loans, daycare, or other typical costs, is not a terrible income. Maybe it is a little tough if you live in DC proper or want to be in McLean or North Arlington, but in most places, it is perfectly fine.

OP, our HHI with 2 salaries is below yours. No way would DH expect me to put up with a stinky, moldy washer (although, have you tried Whirl Out?) and our house, though not updated to the 9's, has granite in the kitchen.

I think you and your husband have some differences when it comes to what you are willing to live with. This is common. A situation like yours would piss me off into oblivion though. That's partly why I went back to work. I'm surprised your DH wouldn't take a little pride in providing things that might give his wife a little happiness. [/quote]
