Someone suggested to me to give a budget for goodies, EACH. 150$-500$. (Whatever suits your budget) my husband I both tried to live within that for personal spending money. When it gets close to payday, we had a specific area with one sheet of paper. If there were extras you wanted that could wait, you list them there. As the new pay period starts around, you may both agree on this item. Then we put it on layaway and save. We still allow ourselves credit card purchases for xyz and stick to it.

You’d need a household income of at least 500k and a large down payment of around 400-500k to even afford a “palace”. And that is just to even be taken seriously. If you want to afford it comfortably you’d likely need a household income closer to 700k - 1M+ a year.

Kids are get used very fast to people, if they grow up with them, my mom watched for my nephew when my sister had to work night shifts in a hotel, he saw my mom as his second mom, my mom took him for few days back to our home without my sister, no problems. My mom watched my neighbors kids, my mom was on maternity leave and the other was not, after a while the smallest kid did not want to go back home, she wanted to stay with my mom. Kids only care for someone who loves them and cares for them.
