How much of your income do you spend on wife for Christmas?

Talking percentage of your gross household income. A few of my coworkers brought this up at work the other day and some of them said as high as 5%. I find that absolutely ludicrous, but I've been known to be cheap at times.

5% of minimum wage isn't that much though

I’m not spending 5% on Christmas

Very little. We get each other 1 big present and use the rest of what we would have spent on each other to spoil the kids and take a vacation in the spring/early summer.

This year, around $300. Most I've spent on her for Christmas in quite awhile.

Varies, she’s gotten a few vehicles at Christmas, that’s the most expensive things I’ve given to her.

750 is about 0.37% for me.

Spending 5% of your gross income on your wife for Christmas is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. Imagine trying to satisfy that wench

I started a Christmas acct at the credit union a few years ago. It comes to about $1500 a year. That's her budget. But that also includes Anniversary last week and daughter's birthday the week after Christmas.
I have two kids

So let's use the minimum wage example, just for fun. If they're making $15,000, that's still $750.
That's absolutely insane.
If they put 10% into retirement, they'd have to make a 50% ROI just to offset the Christmas spending binge on the wife, and 10% is a decently high amount to put away each year for retirement. The average minimum wage earner isn't putting anything close to that in retirement.

Nice subtle brag. At least you required readers to do math

I just dick her down an extra time or two Christmas week.

The only thing I can think is that maybe some people are buying their wives vehicles for Christmas and 5% is the down payment they put down.
That actually may not be a bad strategy as at some point you're going to be buying a vehicle for the wife anyway. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and disguise something you'd be out for anyway as a "Christmas gift." But that would realistically be a once or (maybe twice) a decade type gift.

That seems like an entirely reasonable amount for a birthday, an anniversary and Christmas.
