[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such an odd thread. OP, if your expenses are so minimal (no mortgage or other debt, no private school tuition or childcare, etc.), how are you possibly spending 20% of your DH's 7-figure income each year (and what are you spending $10k a month on)? Also, I don't get the whole "if you're working, you do what you want with your money." DH and I both work and I would never think that my income is for my own personal use- as several PPs have said, all of our income is family income. I don't think being a SAHM matters at all. I am totally with your DH- I would be really annoyed if my DH (whether he worked or not) insisted on giving money away to his family (and, particularly, demanded that we give more, even after we already supported them). You are basically choosing your family of origin over your own children- very strange.[/quote] We are mostly on the same page and have an overall good marriage. If I asked for a brand new $120k Range Rover or $200k Aston Martin, DH would probably get me one. I don't have a Hermes bag but he would gladly buy me a 10k bag. As I mentioned multiple times already, I did not mention my family to DH yesterday. I have not mentioned buying my brother a car. Maybe I will ask him and he will simply say yes. The allocated fund per month was just a fleeting thought.[/quote] You just lost all credibility here. My friends laughed and told me to check out this post. All of our incomes and net worths are significant, we all gave up high income careers to focus on the kids, but NONE of us talk like you do. Your odd name-dropping and patronizing BS are unreal, as are you. In your little skit - we assume you make a fraction of what you're pretending but still have a deep issue of pissing away money on your Mental Illness Brother (is that PC for something else?) - seem to have forgotten the value of a dollar. And you're making a fool of your pretend husband too. [/quote]
