[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this thread is really interesting. In my world, (and I would say a lot of people's outside of DCUM), $3k is a lot of money. A birthday gift, especially something from a spouse, is supposed to be something the recipient would enjoy and be happy about. This has now changed into something that makes you feel guilty, because it's a joint use of your own money (frankly), spent on something you don't really want. I agree it's worth a conversation with your husband at some point about what kind of gifts you do like and how it made you feel. You need to make sure the same misunderstanding doesn't happen again. Gifts don't have to cost a lot, they just have to be significant (in a positive way!) to the receiver. Do you have any sense of your husband's motivation or thinking here? I agree $3k is the start of a nice vacation or a good contribution to a 529 plan, if you're just starting out.[/quote] I agree. [/quote]
