Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We’re relocation home shopping (again) and everywhere we want to live is too expensive and everywhere I think homes are reasonable doesn’t fit our wants and needs. So I’m faced with ponying up quite a bit more for our retirement dream house. This has come up in/directly in several threads lately, but I can’t find the last poll on the subject.
Yes I know it all comes down to supporting spending based on our new net worth after a $200K hit, but just wondering what’s typical.
I’m probably being a cheapskate (coupled with fear of buying in a somewhat appreciated market), and DW is being reasonable, but whatever you do - don’t tell her.
For the poll, please use

For the poll, please use
- Numerator: $ Value of your 1 primary residence (2 homes if you’re a snowbird), but don’t include income properties.
- Denominator: Your $ net worth without primary residence, but please include income/investment properties.
- If you’re still working, paying a mortgage - use full value of your home and projected net worth both at retirement. If that’s too far off to project (if you’re younger), please don’t vote?
