[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much savings outside of retirement do you have?   It sounds like you handle the money on your own.  Is your wife engaged in your finances at all?

Honestly, if I were her, I'd be pretty peeved about my spouse spending $1k on a new laptop and somehow saying it's ok, because I color my hair once a month.  Frankly, I'd be tempted to bang him over the head with said laptop and tell him to be grateful it wasn't a frying pan.

I really think you guys could benefit from doing a Dave Ramsey "Financial Peace University" course together.  He does have a religous element in his coursework, but I think it's easy enough to ignore that part if it doesn't speak to you and I think it would really be beneficial for you both to go through it.[/quote]

about 40K in retirement.   And I do not buy a new laptop and tablet every year, rather every other year :). (2010, 2012 2014 for the laptop; 2011, 2013, 2015 for the tablet).

That seems excessive.  Retirement is pretty low.  I would be pissed too.  I can understand upgrading your existing laptop, which my husband has done but to get a new table or laptop given your income seems a bit much.  Try buying your wife some gifts instead.  [/quote]
