[quote=Anonymous]Op have a larger conversation about life and financial goals. Address whether she wants to return to work or stay home. If she’s going back soon drop it. If not then bring this up in context of your shared goals. Fwiw I think the spending is normal but not necessarily reasonable at your current income level and at her current age and lifestyle (you don’t need new perfect nails or new clothes if you are not working out of the home). I will say that as I approached 50 I spent a lot more than I even thought I would on looking good. Dh thinks I’m just naturally young looking but I spend 2-3k year on laser treatments for rosacea and Botox 3-4 x year. I don’t spend a lot on clothing, skin products, and never on “luxury” goods but between hair and skin…ouch. But I also have a forward facing job working with wealthy people and I’m convinced that how I look (put together , slender, etc) gets factored into success. [/quote]
