Wife wants to take 10k Vacation
Post Body

I’m a 28M married to a 28F. We make over 200k house hold income and own our primary residence. We have a fully funded emergency fund, max out both 401ks and invest in individual brokerage accounts as well. I feel like we are doing well for our age and on track to retire early but my wife loves to spend money on luxury trips. We went on a 17 day honey moon to South Africa 1 year ago and spent 22k USD. Now she wants to book a 10k USD trip to the Galápagos Islands before having kids. I pushed back not wanting to go on a trip that expensive and she blew up on me saying I never want to experience life and I’m cheap. I argued that we just got back from a great trip less than a year ago but she wasn’t having it. What should I do? I finally feel like I’m back on track with my spending / investing. Do I need to live a little or put my foot down?

Update - Thank you for all the input! Galapagos, here I come! #happywifehappylife lol

Also kinda crazy though! We often go to Europe for like $600 each for a week all inclusive

You only live once. No joke. Travel while your young
