I'm happy for my son that he finally found someone. I think his fiance is a great girl. She's very polite, generous, and brilliant. She is well mannered and good at everything she does. I only have one concern and that is how she spend money. I noticed that everything she use are expensive brands. She uses expensive make up, clothes, cars, and everything else. I shop at places like Walmart and dollar stores while she shops at stores like Sak Fifth and Tiffany's. I know that she came from an old money family and is use to the finest things in life but I'm not use to that and I'm afraid that this can in the future ruin my son financially. I kind of pointed out to my son a while ago (before they got engaged) and he was like "Well she make double of what I make so I can't tell her how to spend her money." It makes me feel iffy knowing that my son have no control and will have no control of how she spend the money. Right now it's her money and her family money but in the future I'm afraid that his money will become her money. How can I get her to rethink the value of money and spending them more wisely?
She's an only child so her family is giving her everything... the car, the house, saving account. I give her some credit for working and make 6 figures but she needs to know to spending them wisely and her family handing her everything doesn't help her grow up and because more responsible financially.
