[quote=Anonymous]Man OP I am seriously on your side.  You are seeing that if you live, you are on track with your finances.  And if you die, there is $1million in insurance.  So in that scenario your gadget spending is not even a drop in the bucket.  you are right.  hell yes you deserve to have and enjoy these items.

But being right is not getting you what you need.  I suspect you don't want to do a financial planner because there's an element of annoyance that your wife doesn't trust your calculations or the steps you've taken to ensure she is provided for.  And if you're like me, you think most of that industry is full of shit.  But still, your wife isn't understanding what you think you do about the financial picture.  Her fear of losing YOU may also be getting a little displaced onto fear/anxiety of surviving without you -- probably exacerbated by her role as SAHM while you've been breadwinner.

So via financial planner or some other way, help solve her problem, and you will be able to enjoy your gadgets again.  I suspect it will be easier said than done, because both your larger emotions about the cancer seem to be funneling in here.  but open yourself up, cross the bridge, and work with her.  Then get back to enjoying your wife, your things, and the time you have left -- whether or not it's cancer that ends the clock.

by the way, by the same reasoning your wife's personal care spending is not actually an issue, either.  you can afford it.  so that's one more reason to leave that out of this discussion (along with the many other reasons stated).[/quote]
