our HHI is ~$300k and we save $7-8k/month in savings/investment/retirement funds. she sees her "friends" on FB poast pics of their lavish trips and she gets depressed. she says these friends don't really have great jobs or come from rich families, so why can they take these trips and we can't (we do take about one trip a year)? I tell her it's because we are going to come out at the end in a better position because of our savings. I'm not sure if this is cr advice to give and maybe we should just spend like her "friends" do, at least they are enjoying life more

Only real way to combat this is to keep fucking her all the time, even when you dont want to, and get her pregnant. Then, after babby, keep fucking her all the time

she’s more depressed that you don’t lavish her with gifts of travel than that her friends are going places

she wishes you wanted to do those things with her, despite savings goals

she’s thinks other couples are happier than you two are

as another poaster noted: facebook doing just as intended — equating strategically shared snippets of life with reality

I've discussed this before on the bort. Your message is correct but make sure u present it persuasively. I work up spreadsheets on savings n investments, how much we'll have in x years, how much the 20k we'd blow on Somme safari would be worth in x years, and we hold regular summits to recommit to our shared savings goals.

A rational discussion to set and refocus goals is good for everyone involved, including me. I could go cop an m5 tonight, no sweat. I'd love to. Having a shared plan that we are both responsible for helps me avoid agonizing over retarded shit like that.

This.

Wife is seeing everyone's highlight reel. Their life is (generally) no more exciting then hers.

My ex used to do this all the time, despite us going on many Vegas weekends, trips to Napa/Maui, etc. Nothing was ever enough for her to "compete" with her friends. She would get pissed when I didn't want to "compete" with them.
