An internet discussion forum isn't a good place for marriage counseling. The Model S is a fantastic car. But if you need to make a big effort to rationalize buying one, then it's probably not the right time to buy one.
Marriage counseling wasn't what i was looking for or need. I was looking for advice on how others have approached their significant others when it comes to spending a great deal of money on a luxury car. Bottom line is we (wife and I) come from very different backgrounds, spending money for her isn't as easy as it is for me. We both earn good salaries, her focus is saving as much as she can and saving for our children's future, which is an absolute must. Over the years because of my workload she has handled all the finances and as such laid the financial plans, I am the one throwing a spanner in the works with my desires. Therefore I was looking for advice on if others are/were in similar situations and how they were able to lay it out in a way that made financial sense to their partner, bottom line it probably doesn't and therefore I just need to work with her on fitting in my needs into the current plan, it will probably take longer to get the car and thats something I will just have to deal with and be patient. I guess the silver lining is that there could be some new options in 2014.
Thanks
