Just an aside.. I have a SIL exactly like this (my brother's wife) but she doesn't work and makes my brother hold 2-3 jobs to keep her at home (they have a toddler) and I KNOW they can't afford much because they're crazy in debt. DH and I bought an SUV, she traded in a car that had negative equity just so SHE could have an SUV. She suddenly started to become aware of my handbag collection, and one day I see her with a brand new Coach Carly, then a Prada pochette. DH and I bought a house, they decided they needed to buy a house. My mother finally called her out on it because of the strain it was putting on my brother. He makes like $3000 a month tops and their mortgage alone was $2000.. They've since moved and we suspect it was foreclosed. Long story short, the relationship is strained at best and we haven't spoken since last June.
