[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
This is not a milestone birthday. She is turning 34. I’m 32.
Our kids are 3 and 5. After our second child was born, we decided she will stay home until both kids start school.
I’m the sole breadwinner. HHI is $250k.
We have a mortgage but our cars are paid off.
We only started funding our 529s last year.
Our net worth is approximately $700k including home equity.

I don’t think we can afford to spend $8k on a handbag.

I believe she is being influenced by some of her friends.
She said that if I don't get her that handbag, she'll just buy it herself and remember that I'm a worthless husband.

Agree. Do not buy this bag. You guys are middle class. That's who the fakes are for. Get one of those. Her middle class friends won't know the difference.

Oh boy, OP. This is bad. You definitely cannot afford that bag. I think it is a dumb purchase even if you could, but on $250k HHI? No freaking way. And your wife saying you are a worthless husband if you don't buy her something you cannot afford as a family?! I worry for your marriage a lot. [/quote][/quote]
