[quote=Anonymous]I can’t think for my husband - he loves books and is a scientist and some of the books he gets are $300-$400 text books. He doesn’t do that often. I asked him recently about the threshold where he’d be annoyed if I just spent it - I think we decided out tolerance is about $700-1,000, but neither of spends much in that way. I needed a new wardrobe, went shopping for the first time in years, and dropped $1,200. When I told him he basically said, “yeah, clothes can be expensive, but you haven’t gotten new clothes in ages.” My friend and I got season tickets to the theater. My husband gave me permission and I mentioned it was expensive, but he said “that’s fine.” But when I mentioned the cost the other day he seemed surprised (a year after I paid for them.) He earns about $200k and I earn about $120k and also have money from stocks I inherited that - if I didn’t reinvest - would add another few hundred to our income each month. [/quote]
