Buy it. Unless you think she already bought it for you for Christmas?

Dude. My wife is cooler than yours. She bought one for me. |

How much are her hair cuts? Her purses? Her shoes? Give her the back of your hand and tell her to shut the hell up. |

You mention that at your salary, you should be able to afford one. Do you have the cash to buy one? Are you saving money each month, in general?
I make enough money to buy one; the xbox one is about one days wages. But, my expenses are high. No xbox one for me. |

| Really? This is so sad. You are a grown man. Buy your play toy. I am thinking maybe she already bought you the game system. If not you need to sit down and talk about each of you having a "fun" account. |

| I'll bet she spends a ton on things the "family needs" -- when, really the family doesn't need these things; she wants them. She sees your expenditure as cutting into stuff she wants. |

| Ha, I spent a week tracking online sites to get DH a PS4. Yes, I think he is a little boy on the inside, but grown men deserve their toys too. I think it is time to have a talk about financial priorities (i.e., you have the money, it isn't needed for saving up for any other expense, you haven't splurged on 50 other things this year, etc.) |

| not only should you buy it, you should but a ps4 as well and a wii u to really show her who wears the pants. |

Wow. I can safely assume Dr. Phil has just chimed in.... The next thing to show the pants is to smash the Xbox with a hammer. That'll show him, right? Wrong. Get her to buy it for you. Find a way my man. Still stuck? Ask me later. |

Like all other good little boys wait until Christmas or Chanukah |

| Maybe it's not about the money but the amount of time it takes away from spending time with the family. How is easy is to recover from a night of Madden and/or do you park in front of the TV all day on Sunday to watch Football all day? |

Layaway!
Really, though, if you are contributing and have the money available, you need to go ahead and buy it. It's time to take on some of the money management responsibilities too. |

Disagree.
I handle finances for us. Sometimes despite our incomes we can't affirmed to buy everything my husband wants. We are saving for mutually important lt goals (college fund, retirement, building a house). We just bought a new car (his). Xmas is coming. We can't buy everything he (or I) wants the day he wants it. There is x money and y desires. My husband forgets and assumes we have tons if money bc we make a lot. He forgets about the exigences kart (mortgage, childcare, etc). So if he wants something like this to come from the household budget then yes, I control that decision because he admittedly cannot handhe mobley (major debt when we married which I paid off). If he wants it badly enough he needs to buy it from his spending money (not household funds). |
