This discussion is REALLY helpful. It has given me lots of ideas.
I'm going to take your idea of calculating the interest we would tack onto the mortgage as this would be a 180 for me and would show that I had thought through his suggestion. It would also show him in real terms the amount we would lose by doing this.
Thank you thank you!!
Mishka, also thank so much for the house buying season info. I think that is the same for us here. Also, that is a really good idea to just validate the fact that he wants a break from the payments rather than validate his whole idea of managing that with a mortgage holiday (I love the way the banks call it that and then sting you for thousands of pounds!!) which I just could not do.
All this is so great and such food for thought. Thank you!
