That must have been really hard on him and his wife.

I would love to read more about the psychology of money in a couple! Currently, my husband wants to buy a 1.5 million dollar house (!) but our net worth is only 4.5 million. It seems like too big a swing to me, but he is older.

I know you cannot give advice, but comments from you and readers are welcome!
