[quote=Anonymous]Team OP that his wife is being dumb. Most amercians, despite high incomes, don't have enough savings for one random emergency.

Smart families choose mutual priorities, spend some and save the rest.  That's how you get ahead. This family already chose floors and painting.  The wife shouldn't have a carte blanche to do what she wants, just because they have money left over after paying immediate bills.

I also note his wife is planning to "stay home for a bit" when baby is born - which we all know means there's a 50% chance she won't go back for 10 years.  Shifting to one income is not the time you start wasting money....

All that said, i'd probably concede on a few of these items pre baby, because those pregnancy months are stressful and definitely get in your brain, and if you have the money, this may not be the hill to die on (even she is being unreasonable).

PS the person above who said new backsplash is necessary for digital photos to fit in with the right society.... WTF? [/quote]
