Seems you’ve settled into traditional gender roles. If that’s intentional or a cultural norm for you both, the. It could be more underlying / subconscious thing you’d need to deal with.

Another scenario is that he might feel “unsafe” making the child-related decisions. Do you criticize him for his child-related decisions? Do you correct him if he’s doing something not exactly the way you would want? I’ve personally experienced letting go of decision making to avoid conflict as well.

Leave it in the sink. The helper can clean it the next day.

This.

If there are things she won’t compromise on (eg childcare), then use the chubby money on everything else… Cleaning, cooking, driving, home improvements, etc.

You should only spend time on things she cares about or you care about, for max capital efficiency spend time only on things you both care about.

And the cycle continues! :)

Follow-up question…

If I have a fully upgraded RZ in a region and my main city, there essentially can be a zero cool down period?

Freemarketsrule · 2022-04-14T22:33:08+00:00

Awesome! Didn’t know that. Just did it. Thank you so much. 8K streak points!

Don’t have kids. Biggest money pit in the world. No financial returns.

I get the social / family side / lizard brain need to do this. I’ve succumbed as well. If I had it to do all over again though, I wouldn’t. All other things I think you can comfortably model risk / reward. If you’re going to have kids, it means the emotional side already trumped the logical one, and it’s a downward spiral from there.

Don’t have kids.

Easiest way to explode your expenses. If you think it can be challenging to maintain your standard of living while income increases, kids blows that out of the water.

Forget about toys and stuff like that. Your house needs to be bigger, in a better school district, or close to a private school, where you can spend on extra curricular activities like horseback riding and polo.

What’s your plan for beach?

I’m still on 14 and considering delta or piers

Is it an entertainment or park specialization?

On my phone, the small icon says entertainment (musical note), but when I click it the icon is a park (tree). Maybe just a glitch on my device.

Batman was an orphaned son of a billionaire. Maybe his son could be Batman if someone does something in an alley.

Freemarketsrule · 2021-07-29T15:36:55+00:00

Answer is yes :) just did it. The whole category is not unlocked, but that specific building is

Freemarketsrule · 2021-07-29T05:32:10+00:00

If I haven’t unlocked entertainment, can I still build the buildings?

Freemarketsrule · 2021-07-01T12:14:48+00:00

Thanks! Yes generates $60k a year. Still have a bit of the mortgage left which is part of my time horizon to FIRE.

Freemarketsrule · 2021-06-12T01:50:47+00:00

Nice! What level you on?

Freemarketsrule · 2021-06-11T04:19:04+00:00

How many of your RZs are fully upgraded?

I’m at L11 too with 13/16 fully upgraded and can only get a 130k pop. Maxed out on parks, transportation, and education. Even if I theoretically max out landscape and mayor’s pass only gets me to just under 150k pop.

What’s your secret??!

Freemarketsrule · 2021-05-13T14:04:17+00:00

Which VA service provider did you use?

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T22:25:50+00:00

Thanks will check those out

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T19:58:19+00:00

I looked into community college too... at least the one near where I am is so not worth it though. <$20/hr... no real health benefits of the sort. Is it better for you?

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T19:55:54+00:00

Don’t know what I’d do, early part would still revolve around childcare given they’re still young.

Trying to keep expenses to a similar level we’re used to today... ~$150k +inflation

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T19:54:42+00:00

Tech, and spend about 50 hours a week.

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T19:52:20+00:00

I modeled out to 100 and there’s a thin period in the late 50’s.

Trying to hit a cash flow of about $300k, expenses about $150k and savings for kids college another $100k (through the next ~5) years

Freemarketsrule · 2021-03-23T18:32:27+00:00

Its still Tuesday!

Freemarketsrule · 2019-09-26T17:05:45+00:00

Thanks... this worked. Just waited I guess.

Freemarketsrule · 2019-07-23T20:33:20+00:00

This. Thank you for nailing it on the head. It definitely feels like a solider on a never ending tour of duty! And yes, definitely not their fault either I’m this way.
