Constantly worried about family finances (retirement and otherwise) and it’s causing a strain on my marriage.

Wife and I are in our early 30s with no kids.

  • $125,000 combined salary (I recently started a small business and my wife gets benefits through her office job)

  • $2,000/month in mortgage, car insurance, utilities, HOA

  • $1,500/month in various other expenses (a lot are deductible for business)

  • Own both our cars outright

  • $0 CC debt

  • $125,000 equity in our house

  • $27,000 in checking account

  • Between IRAs, 401(k), and my SEP, we have $50,000 for retirement and max out all of these each year.

Are my fears unfounded? I lose sleep worrying that we’re not saving enough short term or long term. It’s almost become a point of tension in my marriage. But because I handle the finances, I m afraid that I’m making some critical errors. And I don’t know what to do with our checking account. I’m always worried we’ll need a huge emergency fund so I don’t even think what we have is enough.
