I was exclusively stay-at-home until DD turned 18 mos. old, at which point I got a part-time job.  With 2 kiddos now, I am only working 2 days/week, and lean more to the stay-at-home mom subscription.  I don't  treat myself to anything "very" nice that often, if at all.  DH is really good about getting me something really nice at my birthday and/or Christmas.  I appreciate his hard work, and am glad that I can be at home most days to raise the kids... Being that he's the breadwinner, I do ask when I want something with a big price-tag.  He has graciously never turned me down.  But, honestly, we both have a mutual respect when it comes to purchasing an expensive item...  We're both Dave Ramsey fans, and have similar feelings about money.  Even though I do contribute to our income part-time, I do sometimes feel guilty if I buy myself a new pair of shoes or clothes.  I had a great job before the kids were born, so I was able to help out substantially back then.  In a couple more years (or less), I will return to work full-time.

Thanks, that seems reasonable, I too like Dave Ramsey. 4951
