[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's your net worth?[/quote]

OP here. Around 5M.

To answer some other questions, yes he does enjoy being handy and doing home improvement projects. But I also know he doesn’t want to spend the money.[/quote]

Hey OP, there's a difference between being handy and cheap. There are a lot of things in your first post that we also would not have paid for and our HHI is a bit higher than you but 3x net worth. We are on our sixth home since getting married, and hire people for house cleaning, landscaping, pool maintenance, etc, but we've also never flown anything other than coach, and have never spent anywhere close to $200 on a sweater. I bought a Patagonia puffy jacket for $300 once, and that is the highlight of my closet. I have suits that cost more, but I only wear them for work so it's less of an indulgent purchase and more like buying quality tools.

My point is that different people spend money on different things. If there are some things that's important to you that you'd like to spend money on, work it out with your husband. I don't know about $1k for skii instruction for kids, but if it was a one-time expense and was part of a larger vacation trip that we had spent 20-30k, I might go for it. Got knows we've spent over $500 on a single meal, so $1K for a day seems okay to me. [/quote]
