We all have priorities and choices and there are pros and cons to all of them.
I also have a wife (of 11+ years now) and we're still paying off her MBA loans (from Pepperdine). We have no human kids but we have a lot of four-legged furry 'kids' that eat us out of house and home. And I'm the sole breadwinner. Luckily my wife makes me spend money on stuff for my consulting business (esp. in November / December as the end of the tax year looms large) so each year normally sees an appropriate amount of software and hardware purchased. And of course conference attendance counts too (so, apart from missing me when I'm not home, she's very supportive / encouraging of me attending conferences). I know we've had this discussion before and I suspect we'll just have to agree to disagree.
