The Engagement Gift Justification
You say to your wife, “Remember that Engagement present I bought you?” To which she responds, “What Engagement present?” Then you say, “Don’t you remember? I scraped and sacrificed and saved for a whole year to get you that $3500 ring to celebrate the day I committed my life to you.” To which she responds, “Oh yeah”. Then you say, “Well, I didn’t get anything. Do you think there’s a chance I could get this little $600 briefcase?”
The Heirloom Justification
“Honey, all my life I’ve wanted to own something nice enough to hand down to our oldest son and so I want to buy a $5000 pocket watch to show him as he grows up.” To which she responds, “Are you crazy? We don’t have that kind of money right now!” So that’s when you say, “Well, then would you mind if I just got a $599 Heirloom Quality Leather Briefcase for the kid to remember me by when I’m gone? Which one do you think I should get?”
The Early Inheritance Justification
“Dad, you know how when you die, you’re going to leave me some money? But that’s going to be a long time from now and then you won’t even be able to have the fun of seeing me enjoy it. What do you think of giving me a tiny bit of it now to buy this leather briefcase that I can enjoy the rest of my life and that you can watch me enjoy? And really, you’d really be buying it for your grandson since I’ll hand it down to him one day. It’ll give you twice the joy”.
