Ouch Perry!
That’s some “tough love.” Better that Relo have real figures to show her husband.
575k vs 350k= 225k up front and roughly an additional 200k in interest for the life of the loans plus the opportunity lost to compound both ammounts over time in investments.
It’s only money.
Aren’t we both hypocrits though? Staying put in our primary residences? Even if they aren’t leveraged there are serious opportunity cost if we are right about forthcoming depreciation. You have pretty pricey tastes in houses. Are there not eventually opportunity costs in that?
