2 things...
1) I am really grateful that my fiancee is being supportive in my plan to buy a Camaro around the same time frame we get married. We both already made a common budget and are following it. We've got the wedding plans all made out and the post-wedding budget is also planned out. As long as a couple more stars align at work, I'll be getting the Camaro.
2) Women and men often do have different priorities for purchases. I tend to save up a lot of money and buy something huge, like a SLR camera and lenses, she will buy a couple outfits a month. (I wear my jeans until the bottoms are tattered) So our priorities are different, but I swear to you both of us being open about our spending has been a life saver. We both are aware of our good and bad spending habits before we are married and we are already taking action to control the bad habits that we both have!
So really, what some people have said is right, maintain open communication about your spending habits, and PLAN your major purchases. If you save up for what you buy before you buy it, there is no argument as to whether or not you can afford it. You already saved the money in the bank!
