[quote=walterwhite]in spite of that, i’m willing to buya house becaus emy wife says so.
And yet, i cannot bring myself to pay that last little bit in dispute, an amount that equals perhaps a bit less than 2% of the price of the house.
Am i just being irrational? Must I arbirtarily draw lines in the sand, or should i just eat the sand, or go pound sand, and move on with life and get in my beautiful house with my beautiful wife and ask myself, “well, how did i get here?”[/quote]
From what you’ve said here before, it sounds like you and your wife have pretty decent incomes and good job prospects for the future. Based on the houses you’ve described, and their prices, it sounds like you would be buying well below your means.
Time to make your beautiful wife happy and buy an inexpensive home that you can see yourselves living in for the rest of your lives.
