She sounds like she has at least one mental disorder, such as anxiety, that should be medicated, and for which she should seek therapy.

Please sit her down and tell her that she's crossed a line, and you are considering divorce unless she seek psychiatric treatment and therapy.

Separately, she also needs long-term financial education. You need to sit her down and go over your budget: what are you saving for? Retirement, college, emergencies. Does she have a good grasp of how much all these things cost? I send my kid to an 85K a year university, OP. I am aware that nursing homes can cost upward of 10K a month. So I organize my finances with those things in mind. You two need to talk about this.

As PP said, it's weird you're both hung up on "the most expensive school" or whatever. I'm a fiscally responsible Tiger Parent :-) Meaning, I get the most bang for my buck when it comes to my children's education. I researched the heck out of preschools, and we did pay for a Montessori one that was quite nice... but it wasn't the most expensive one in our area by far. It was the BEST FIT. She needs to move away from most expensive, to best fit sort of concept. I taught my kids starting from when they were toddlers (reading, counting, etc), but I didn't pay a tutor for that. Again, most bang for my buck.

Anyway. I hope you two work things out.
