A woman shared how her husband wiped out his savings to buy a luxury car and told her that it was to reward himself, she then questions the need to make such a buy when they are trying for a baby.
Here is the story:
“I’m so angry that my husband bought a luxury car and wiped out his savings in the process, and it’s going to be a lot out of our pocket every month.
We still have our joint savings that he didn’t touch, but I just felt like he was too impulsive.
I asked him if he ever considered that he wouldn’t be able to pay off the rest, and he asked why I was such a pessimist.
He explained that it’s something to reward himself, to push himself to work harder, and it’s probably the one and only chance in a long while before he buys something for himself since we are trying for a baby.
To be fair to him, he is always very generous to his family and friends, and has the mindset that money can always be earned back.
But I can’t stomach the fact that he willingly made such a huge purchase just like that, and the thing is he only drives probably less than 5 times a month as he doesn’t drive to work.
I just feel like the money can be put to much better use like investments and other stuff???”
Editor’s note: This is going to be one of those “oh I wish I hadn’t done that” moments a few years down the road.
