[quote=Anonymous]OP Here: Thanks to those who answered the actual question. I work FT and actually now make a little bit more than my husband, so the whole debate with the random guy who responded about his SAH wife is not really germane for me personally.

I know that no one can gauge my budget, so that wasn't what I was asking (as I noted at the outset.) We literally NEVER spend serious money, although I manage to spend a lot in Target or grocery runs. We both have respectable DC salaries (not Big Law, think two veteran fed level salaries.) But between two kids and the fact that my husband grew up as a poor immigrant who believes he has to be prepared for the apocalypse with cash under the mattress, we live way below our means.

My theory has been that between $1k & $2k all in (since I think this will entail travel) is probably justifiable -- since as PPs said, that's what a 50th bash would cost. But it's still mind boggling for me, and so before I pulled the trigger I wanted to get a sense of what others have spent.

BTW the team is Golden State Warriors - actually he just wants to see Steph Curry play, He wanted courtside seats but my plan is for the third row, plus a night on his own (which he will value almost as much as the game.) I may bring the kids the next day and all spend a night at my family's beach house. Although it won't be beach weather, it's a special place for our whole family so I think it might be nice to do.[/quote]
