Formo - Me too. My wife and I bought our wedding rings at K-Mart for $20 for both of them. Both of ours snapped years ago and we since upgraded our wedding rings to $20 rings (each) at some teenager rock and roll store at the mall, forgot what it's called.
I've never understood a lot of things, like 2400 sq ft houses on a lot the size of a postage stamp. Very popular here in California, and nowadays, you see a lot of those homes foreclosing.
Here, it's all about keeping up with the Jones'es. I don't get it. You see it in the clothes, in the vehicles, the wedding rings, etc. Then they whine that they can't make their payments. Wonder why.
I like money, don't get me wrong. I like it though so I could get some time off and go somewhere with it, not to buy crap we don't need.
I think the happiest people are the ones who understand that time and health are the most important things you got, and a good family is one that does stuff together.
Good luck with wrestling control for the finances. Everyone's afraid of the word "roles" nowadays as we've been brainwashed with the equality word. I hope you can convince her that you'd be better off if you controlled the finances.
