unfortunately my wife believes that renting is $$$ down the drain

thanks for the suggestion. my wife is thrifty. she cooks our dinner/lunches and packs my lunch for work. she drives an old car. we do not eat out more than once a month. she is willing to trade a lot of other expenses (flat screen TV, vacations) for a home.

that is funny

I am not asking for a CEO home. My wife finished her grad school. she has a job lined up for 60k. she might have to quit her job if we have a couple of kids

I realize I can “afford” a 600k home with my salary.

I do not have any stock option money or huge inheritances coming my way.

you are right that there were some fundamental marriage issues. luckily we have sorted most of them out.

my wife has read the book. she practises most of what is written in “Millionaire next door” except the house part 🙂

She is not that bad. Except the house part. I hope I can wait for another 4-5 years.

she has read this forum once. sometimes she feels piggingtoners are sane. sometimes she feels that you are bunch of losers. i would not take it personally.

I am not exaggerating. I am leaving some data out for privacy reasons.
