[quote=Anonymous]99% of the time yes.

We have everything we need and just about everything we want. Our HHI is $400K and we have 1 kid in public high school.  Our mortgage payment is $5K on a house we recently bought (first home) and we have no debt. We're gonna pay for college no problem but it probably won't be a 60K a year college. It's coming up soon.

As OP says regular expenses are just routine. No stress, no issues.

Where we get tense on occasion is around our parents. Mine are not rich but well off and spend money on us. His parents are secure but he and his sibling feel compelled to fund luxury for them several times a year, and it makes me feel funny sometimes that we are buying them a 1K dishwasher that they could chose to buy if they wanted. It's irksome for sure but I have to perspective to realize it's a point of tension and awkwardness without being a huge problem.

Since he makes 4/5ths of our income, I relent. He has pointed this our a handful of times which is obnoxious, but makes me realize it's emotional for him (because that kind of comment is very out of character). [/quote]
