[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's 50th is approaching soon. He is anti-social, and has always made clear he wants nothing to do with a party. I'm the opposite, but I'm restraining myself. He did say last year all he wants is an amazing seat to see a team he loves. So I'm scoping tickets whose prices range from offensive to insane.

Obviously I realize that DCUMs can't tell me what I personally can afford to spend, but I'm just trying to get a sense of what other people spend around these kinds of milestones. I've never bought a truly expensive gift, and we live significantly below our means, so I just don't know what normal people might consider reasonable for this kind of thing. If you've had a spouse hit a big birthday and done something special, can you share what you spent (generally speaking)? Thanks![/quote]

Let's start with this: Who are the teams he loves?

But seriously, OP, you're the only one who knows what you can spend. E.g., let's say his favorite team is the Chicago Cubs. Some wives would now be searching for World Series tickets at the end of October in Chicago, plus plane tickets and hotel, a trip which would likely cost over $2k for 2 people (plus lining up someone to take care of the kds). Other wives would buy nosebleed seats at Nats Park for the next time the Cubs come to town (summer 2017), which with beer, hot dogs, and parking might cost $100. No one here can make this decision for you. You either have World Series money or you don't.[/quote]
