[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems trolly. No one gets a weekly massage and facial. [/quote]

I think someone made the whole thing up just to get a bunch of pages.  If the troll is savvy as to what sets off DCUM folks the pages just rack up, as they did here.[/quote]

And nobody who has had a job believes they don’t need a budget. Definitely a troll. [/quote]

OP here. She think we can manage easily on my income and our current savings and investments. [/quote]

Your wife is delusional. As others have said, kids get more expensive. Kid #1 will need preschool and enrichment activities. So will Baby #2 when they arrive and get older. I work and pay for the kids' private school and $$$ activities, as well as my own personal spending. $200k is just not very much for that kind of lifestyle where your family gets so many food deliveries and she gets massages weekly. Not to mention the babysitter she'd need for those hours getting massages, manicures, and haircuts so often. It's stupid to blow all your savings... on doing what? Spending 50k on a nanny a year is still 50k of income where she can continue her weekly massages. We're not talking about a teacher that only makes 50k, so paying for childcare would be handing over most of a paycheck.

Get over your fear about daycare or pay the nanny $30/hour if you can even find one.  [/quote]
