only you can answer how much you value the second bathroom.

I understand that money isn't tight. But if you put that $700 a month into retirement savings, and continue to put that same amount in for the next 35 years, you'd have about $800,000. Not bad.

Thanks everyone
I estimate we will live in the next place for 1-2 years. It was hopeful to hear everyone’s perspectives

We went from a two bathroom apartment to a one bathroom house last year. I have a 6 year old, a 3 year old, and an infant (who was born after the move). While the six year old isn't quite trained, having four bathroom users in the one bathroom house is a little annoying, and the single bathroom is probably our least favorite thing about our current place. However, it is certainly functional, and if it works for our family of five, it can almost certainly work for just you and DH.

It's often easier to save money before there are children in the mix. Once there are kids there are many more expenses that keep cropping up. I think you should keep that in mind - even if your money isn't at all tight now, will the extra $700 a month invested now (or saved up to buy a house rather than going down the drain in rent), help you be more financially stable in the future?

I calculated. 700 dollars is what I pay for two children, and I don't send to cheap and/or kulo kodesh... So yes it matters
