Nobody disputes that it's beer's money to spend or not as he sees fit. Most of us just think the interactions in his relationship, as he describes them, sound super unhealthy and excessively frustrating. DH is that rarest of individuals; well-balanced, mature, patient, diligent and all that cr@p. He did in fact go for a higher-end dryer than I suggested because he thought the electronic readout and settings would be useful (I think this added $100-200 to the bill; we went with a made-in-America old-fashioned non-high-efficiency dryer that is supposed to just work well and not break, which are qualities important to both of us). However, after this past week of him burning the midnight oil at both ends for work and leaving everything house, meal and kid-related up to me, I'm thinking I should've held out for a $2k dryer. We're not THAT rare! Oh yeah, I guess we are. Never mind. Well, rare in the male population

We're not THAT rare! Oh yeah, I guess we are. Never mind. And so modest too! I do need to talk to DH; his mind-reading skills have gone in the crapper lately and he needs to rewire his telepathy module

Sorry. Try to be grateful you have the $900 to spend to fix the furnace. Imagine how sucky it would be if you didn't.

I'm late to the party.
I worry about the day when one can no longer get no-frills appliances. Sure, it'd be neat to start my dryer through a voice command through my Echo, or an app after I leave for the day. But not if it means I pay a premium for something that will break sooner, in a way that makes it more expensive to replace than fix. Now, I do like the idea of a dryer with a steam hookup. That is a feature that to me has value.
