[quote=Anonymous]I think this amount is normal for stay at home moms. Not normal for working moms who don't have time to spend money on this crap.

I make 7 figures and don't spend nearly as much as your wife, but easily could if I wasn't working.  My gym is $40/month, because I don't have time to go to a fancy gym, so mostly use the bike in the garage and run outdoors. The cheap gym is just for rainy days. I do spend $250 every 10 weeks on cut and color, but like another poster, my job is in front of people so I need that. Same for clothes, though I probably only spend $500 every quarter on clothes. I spend maybe $150 every 3 months on skin stuff (tretinoin prescription for $90, plus a sensitive skin wash, and fancier shampoo). No mani/pedi, no massage - no time for those. I work from home, so yogurt and fruit or similar for lunch, so no coffees and Starbucks budget. I do spend periodically on a big bag or similar, but hey, I make seven figures. Your wife doesn't. I'm not sure a HHI of $250k in Bethesda justifies 2 expensive purses plus mani/pedis lifestyle. I mean, that's the HHI of two kids who just graduated college.  [/quote]
