[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
This is not a milestone birthday. She is turning 34. I’m 32.
Our kids are 3 and 5. After our second child was born, we decided she will stay home until both kids start school.
I’m the sole breadwinner. HHI is $250k.
We have a mortgage but our cars are paid off.
We only started funding our 529s last year.
Our net worth is approximately $700k including home equity.

I don’t think we can afford to spend $8k on a handbag.

I believe she is being influenced by some of her friends.
[b]She said that if I don't get her that handbag, she'll just buy it herself and remember that I'm a worthless husband.[/b]

Holy cr*p. You have bigger problems than an expensive handbag.

Beyond that, you cannot afford an 8K handbag. (I own two Birkins and many other lower tier bags, for perspective, so I'm not opposed to high end bags.) [/quote]

I totally missed that line. This would be such a red flag.

I have kids and if they spoke to me that way, it would an automatic no even if I would previously have bought it for them.[/quote]
