My spouse wants to move, I don't. We've been having this discussion for months now, I'm not sure how we can compromise. Should I just cave? We've only lived in our current home for 2 years and it's a really bad time to buy...

The “why” is a huge missing piece of the equation here. Without that part, it’s tough to give advice.

What reasons does he have for wanting to move? Is it possible to meet somewhere in the middle and agree to move in a few years? If he wants to move for something pressing like a job opportunity, I'm a bit more sympathetic, but moving after two years in this market seems like a terrible idea from the outside looking in.

One part of this would be the financial aspect. If the house has appreciated a lot in two years, it may make sense to sell. But that may not be the case, and it could be costly to move after only two years of living there. Unless there's something really wrong with the house or the location, it does make more sense to stay put. The reason for why your spouse wants to move would have a lot to do with whether it's a good idea.

Is your current house haunted? Short of that I think you should hold the line 👻

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??
