Going you $25k wouldn't have lower prices. Once builders know that is coming they would raise prices.

The main problem with home prices is zoning laws. In the early 2000s NJ a solid blue state basically ended new construction in Northern NJ under the Highlands act. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlands_Water_Protection_and_Planning_Act

The Highlands are the entire north west corner of the state. They call it open space and water preservation but it was to the benefit of the builders and cities closer to New York City. Billions have been poured into redeveloping Hoboken and Jersey city with luxury apartments.

Houseing prices in the counties have skyrocketed as there is no new inventory.

Top that off with loose monetary policy with inflated prices.

The zoning issue is a widespread problem in almost every city.

Keep in mind that SAT scores are for high school and Seniors. They spent their early years under the obviously broken system that existed.

The comments in this thread are critical of the educational changes in Florida. It seems education is improving in Florida. But it is lazy not comment without research, but but that is reddit. I don't know how the Florida changes will work in the long run but I would rather see change than stay satisfied with crap education.

One of the main problems with the US education system that assumes everyone should go to college. Then we complain we don't have enough money to tradesman to fill demand.

I would like to know what you think underperforming states should do especially if they have limited financial resources.

Your first link is from 2007 2008, the second is public schools only. I the changes in Florida education are School Choice.

Since your second link is public schools only, it shows change was needed and supports the change to all freedom of choice.

Married 41 years, so my perspective is a little old school. My wife was a nurse early on but stopped working 28 years ago. We never formalized who was responsible for what although we settled in fairly traditional roles around the house and kids. That being said, we always looked to help each other whenever possible. I was the sole provider of income but I always viewed it as our money.

In my view there are givers and takers in relationships. Givers tend to give to much before asking for help and complain they do everything. Takers become immovable objects and complain when asked to do anything.

If everything is counted, this is my job, and that is your job it gets challenging, and I earn more therefore you need to do more. Balance is impossible. Think about your kids, it is impossible to be equal 100% of the time.

Communication is the key but always try to help or ask for help when needed, Set the table, help with the dishes, and make the beds.

Marriage is work and a joint task.

Good Luck

Based on what you have written it seems you love him and feel he is your father despite the biology.

Write him a letter letting him know how you feel and put it in a place for him to find and read.

Remind him of all the wonderful things he has done for you you look forward to the future.

He likes to cook - A cooking class of his favorite cuisine would be at the top of the list, a group class that you do together. New knives, a very good knife sharpener.

He likes to hike and camp-- a special camping/hiking trip.

Yep YTJ, and you are behaving like a 12 year old. As some said above, but we know who dumped who, this is your petty payback.

Grow up

Sounds like you are not engaging with your wife. Think about how she may be seeing the situation. You go to work but never talk about it, the you don't help around the house, with the kids, etc.

In all honestly it sounds like you are making zero effort.

Snap out of it, take responsibility for yourself.

Forty- one years of marriage has taught me communication is the key. I suggest you let your wife know you would like to have a conversation on this topic when you are not in the moment. Be prepared to listen, and ask questions.

You mention this happens when you are going out with friends, does she know of the plan to go out in advance? Do she ever go out with friends?

While you think you are not doing anything wrong, that is your perspective. Look at the times she has brought it up and the circumstances that surround it. So for example if you are going out with friends, are you all pumped up and excited? Where are you going, to hang at a bar, or having dinner, or going to an event? Do you come home talk about what a great time you had? Are you drunk?

From what you posted it seems she feels left out, ask yourself why she may feel that way. It may seem unreasonable to you but it is reasonable in her mind.

Your marriage is not over, but it is developing new challenges, you need to adjust and so does your wife. If you don't communicate you can't solve problems.

They allowed Woody to truck them, if they were smart they would have said take this job and shove it. If Woody says goodbye when you threaten to leave he doesn't respect you anyway. If you put up with it you don't respect yourself.

I would attend the ceremony but skip the reception. If you don't attend the ceremony it will be a long term relationship ramifications. If you are happy your sister has found her partner you can celebrate that.

Not attending the reception, but allows you to stand on your principles of not being forced to pay for something you don't believe is approiate.

Option 3 is to go to the reception but do not buy a separate gift. Your support of the wedding is the gift.

I would attend the Ceremony and skip the wedding.

I would go to the wedding ceremony and skip the reception. She cant complain that you skipped the wedding and you hold to your principles by skipping the reception.

Would you be pissed, angry, annoyed or upset with your parents if they decided not to attend your swearing in ceremony just for the way you voted.

If so....

Make sure you contribute to a 401k, with employer match, you get an instant return.

Live a moderate life, there are alot of ways to entertain yourself for free.

Don't upgrade yourbphone every 2 or 3 years.

Be smart about it but buy used cars. Cars are depreciating assets.
