[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ‘luxury good’ is an excellent education for OP’s children. He’s not working more so he can pau for his wife to get a diamond jewelry, mcmansion, or Tesla to drive. He’s paying for his children’s education!

Especially after the sh—-show that our public schools were the past year and a half, I think it’s a worthwhile expense for the kids, don’t you?[/quote]

No. Many many many people who can afford private school do not think it is a worthwhile expense. If OP's wife thinks its "worth" it, she get a job and pay. However, I'm guessing she will suddenly no longer think its "worth" it if she has to earn the money herself. [/quote]

No, if OP thinks it’s “worth it”, then she and her husband should sit down together and look at the pros and cons and agree if they think this is a justified family expense.  And it’s not just financial - sounds like OP has issues with it on philosophically not just financially.

Once they determine the merit (or not) of private schools, then they can decide whether it comes out of the existing family income (which can afford it) or she should go back to work.

It’s a discussion, a process.  It’s not about OP’s wife unilaterally going back to work to pay for it, regardless of OP’s feelings, and it’s not about OP unilaterally shutting down the debate.[/quote]

And it is also not about OPs wife unilaterally deciding he needs to work for at least three years more, yet here we are.[/quote]
