Give it to TAF you greedy bastard
That could get us a 4 star recruit

Sees, and I already said it’s not a money argument. She thinks I’m becoming a different person and will always want bigger and more. It offends her sensibilites.
It’s possible she is worrying if your material things aren’t enough to satisfy you then maybe she isn’t enough either and you’ll try to upgrade from her as well. It’s stupid but women think that way

St Judes would benefit dramatically from it. I saw you were looking for a way to talk your wife into it. Honest answer. You probably can't. You could buy it. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, but if she doesn't want you to now, that may not work. Invest in land. Land will always appreciate. Buy the car later in your life.

I never said you had to give all of it in one full swoop. But someone as successful as you are could setup a charitable gift fund and distribute as desired. I’m sure you knew about that since you’ve been so financially successful for so long.
And there are plenty of charitable orgs that would greatly benefit from $150k and honor your giving intentions. You do it every day with people buying services from your company...the good charities do the same.
I also find it interesting that’s the only part of the post you chose to reply to.
The entire point was you’re coming off as a selfish a-hole who is always wanting more. Which is fine if that plan is communicated to your wife and she’s supportive. But it sounds like you’re pressing for more and she wants you to slow down.

Bunch of dumbassery in the responses, but this is correct, I believe. I am going to build the house and get her a car first and I think she’ll warm up to living the high life. Then I’ll get the S63 or whatever the flavor of the day is.

I’d bet my next paycheck OPs wife has sacrificed her career progression or own ambitions to make sure he could commit more time to his company.

Lol all you wanted to hear was “your dumb wife will shut up when you buy her something you think is nice”

Why so bitter? I’ll give all of it to charity or none of it. Or somewhere in between like I’m doing now. No one’s business but mine.

If you have to finance the car at all, or have to get a mortgage at over 50% of total cost (note the have to, not the low interest rate/tax write off/invest the difference), then you are a dumbass.

What’s worse? Some sound advice (even by OT standards) or the fact that you were actually just hoping someone here would justify your purchases because your wife sees through your BS?
GTFO with that BS.

If you are debt free and can poay cash for the S class, go for it.
If not your wife is right.

I’m not the one who brought it up.
But again you continue to ignore the contentment issue. Which is the entire problem here.

You work hard and want to give your family something better than what you have, nothing wrong with that.
If y’all are truly debt free now, and you have to finance these new things you want, her reservation is nothing to fight over. Women who prefer to live modestly are a rare find. A short vacation might end in an agreement.

Probably because you’re there. Seems like you need to make family time and build some intimacy, baw.

I don’t need anyone to justify my purchases. I’m not taking on any debt.
I got my wife a half carat diamond when I was broke af and she won’t even let me get her something nice for our 15th. I’m trying to figure out what’s up.

You ever think about asking your wife what she wants? Maybe she wants a condo in the city as a second home, or a camp on the water/in the mountains (considering your primary residence is on 60 acres and you want more).
Ask her what she wants. Talk about it. If this is a small percentage of your net worth, I’m guessing that sharing financials with her would put her at ease.

How’d she feel about that? Because that sounds almost as dumb as what you proposed in OP

You better invest that money and then turn down some jobs if you think it’s that bad. Otherwise she is leaving and you’ll end up paying for it because the divorce system in this country is against men. Men go out , bust their arse to provide, while a woman does some meaningless Secretary bull shite and then wants to take off and take half wit em.

Nope going through the same thing myself with my wife and then bought a 70 foot Viking and it solved all of our problems. Now she just complains when I fill it up with diesel
