[quote=Anonymous] We have a 110K HHI, and therefore I spend proportionally less on myself. I don't have a gym membership, I invested in inexpensive equipment at home during the pandemic and use the new Montgomery County indoor pool in Silver Spring. This costs me less year-round than a private gym membership. I do my own nails, I dye my hair at home (HUGE savings) and a relative cuts my hair. I don't like massages. I buy designer clothes on Poshmark (an online second-hand shop) so I have nice clothes for less. This is the life of the truly budget-conscious, but at your HHI, I think your wife can afford a bit more than I can. It's not that her spending is outrageous, OP. Not at all! But you two need to share the same financial goals, and so looking at your expenses and earnings all laid out is extremely helpful in deciding where to make cuts. Does your wife agree that expenses need to be reduced? Does she see another avenue to make cuts that you're not telling us here? [/quote]
