If she's hot, it better be a lot.

'Cause Jody will come creeping, when Daddy is sleeping.

Mine makes a little more than I do. She can already buy what she wants.

For some low level, low value woman material things might matter

Like I said, it's decent, not great, and I imagine it's in the top few percentile for a minimum wage earner.

I was thinking your wife, but perhaps the question should be broadened to include other peoples' wives, too.

you still think there is such a thing as "your" income, how cute




Laughing and saying that.

And then saying this as if you've got it figured out:

correct answer is, for first 10 years of marriage, you spend more then she tells you to, because its always a test to see how much you show that you really love her.

Before or after kids?

After kids for us it’s more about a nice meal or a night out etc.

Kid gets lions share of gift $$$

We are odd though. A birthday and our anniversary are all in December.

I've been married for 14 years. Me and my wife rarely spend over $150 on each other for Christmas. If I want something during the year I'll buy it. No way I'd want her to spend several k on something that she thinks I'll like

It's never been something I've consciously calculated until I heard what some people I know spend. I know about what I'd normally spend, and it's nowhere near 1%, much less 5%.

Are you saying you'd prefer not know?

A lot, but I'm buying a Christmas from 6 kids to mom, and then something in the $100 range from me on most Christmas's.

No, I've never thought about it in these terms before. This is a purely quantitative way to measure what I imagine for most is more of a mixed qualitative/quantitative decision.

I'm not saying anyone goes out shopping expecting to spend 0.00024853% of their gross household income on Christmas gifts.

However, if you do run the numbers, and those numbers are something like 1-5%, I think there's a good chance you've fallen victim to consumerism gone wild and/or don't care about retirement. That's all.

When I was married, I generally spent somewhere around $400 to $600 on her for Christmas. Now that I am divorced I spend $0 on her.
