[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Damn lots of judgment! My wife doesn't demand anything, but I know that gifts are important to her. She doesn't bug me about stuff I buy for myself, like I just got a new $4k TV and she's fine with it. So yeah we can "afford" the bracelet but like anything in life there are wants, needs and necessities. Anyway I took some advice and found a nice custom piece of wood art from Europe with a subject that she likes and ordered that. Cartier will have to wait until anniversary 10[/quote]

First of all, you knew it would be judgement. You wanted it and you got it. This is nothing you needed our help on…[/quote]

Actually, based on all the people on here that claim to make >300k HHI I seriously thought I was going to get legit advice. Oh well[/quote]

People who make 300-600K are still basically working stiffs, many of whom had student loans and thus come into that earning power with a frugal mindset. Our income is about to increase to $550K and while we can afford to buy a Cartier bracelet every year for my wife, that's just not how we roll. We also don't buy $1L purses with frequency or $4K TVs. But we do throw about $8K every month into retirement, college, and regular savings accounts.

Two working stiffs who try to keep our spending low and investments high. That's why this area has the highest incomes and wealth per household in the country.
