[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.
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.

With these stats it’s insane to buy an $8k bag. She needs to dial it down to a Coach bag.[/quote]
+1. Lord, when this was us, we didn’t even spend 8k on a family vacation. Now that our HHI is double, we still wouldn’t. It’s insane that an 8k bag exists, even dumber to buy one. The people who influence women to buy these things are given the bags for free anyway. The whole racket is pathetic and sad. [/quote]
