[QUOTE="Kevins89notch, post: 15885042, member: 31255"] I'm a numbers guy, so I would just lay out the number for her like someone else said. If you make xx,xxx a year, and we invest at least half that, we can retire 5 years sooner, plus enjoy a nicer vacation every summer in the meantime. I know a couple with a kid, and one parent's job could easily fund the whole house, very much like what the OP says, bills, fun, retirement, etc. The way they do it to the best of my knowledge is the lesser earning person pays a good chunk of the household bills (non mortgage), plus their car and any fun they have. So let's just pretend that's $1,500 a month in bills, their new car is $450, their insurance is $150....they better be making $2,100 a month after taxes, but I said fun money too, so if she wants a new purse, wants to ring up a $70 bar tab with coworkers, wants to go see her favorite country singer in concerts...that's all on her. The mortgage is paid, retirement is funded, and groceries are in the fridge. [/QUOTE]
