What’s the etiquette on receiving expensive gifts that you don’t care for?

You do know that’s one of your tells, don’t you?

I do now lol.

Ugh.

Folks, I'm pretty sure this is OP admitting to making things up ^^. On the regular around here.

If he’s only making $350k, it’s highly unlikely he has enough to retire in 4 years unless he sold a company for millions or something.

I agree he does not actually sound good with money (buying expensive things people don’t want is wasteful, even if you can technically “afford” it.)

Kids are expensive, especially childcare and college educations. You two need to get on the same page and once the baby arrives he’s going to need to start caring about what you think and want more than he currently does. He sounds like a steamroller.

I still don’t understand what type of mental illness one must have to enjoy doing that.

Suggest that he just give you a gift card to one of your favorite retailers.

Also, discourage him from retiring at age 40 as it is the first step to death. A better goal is to have enough resources to be able to retire by age 40, but keep working & earning to ensure financial freedom.

He has a lot of bitcoin and investments. He’s also has a few properties as well. His dad retired at 45 as well from his investments.

I do agree that I need him to understand that spending money on frivolous things now that the baby is on the way is a no-go. I appreciate that he wants to give me “just because” gifts, so I think a conversation on spending limits needs to be had as well.

If I’m going to make t
something up it would be a lot more interesting than gift receiving etiquette….

Well, yeah. They are on here all the time. Why? Because people respond. And keep responding even after the OP admits to trolling. Let’s talk about what this interaction gets for OP and all the posters responding to a self-identified troll.

The problem is it is HIS MONEY. He can do whatever he wants. What are your childcare plans for the baby when you return to work? We’ll wait.

You’re having a baby with a guy you’re not married to who is delusional about money and how much it takes to retire comfortably.

Just accept the gifts and quietly sell or return later.

But even if people respond, why is that interesting? Is it narcissism? Sociopathy?

This is the correct answer.
