Please, asap, sit down with her, and show her your budget-the rent, bills, etc. How much you can spend on groceries, etc. And, how much you have left over. The amount that is left over, divde by 2 or 4, depending on how often you get paid each month. That will show her how much money can be (doesn't HAVE to be spent) but how much CAN be spent each week. It's best to try and save even $5 per month if you can. It can and does add up. Your wife needs to understand that a budget is a budget, and if she wants more money, she can get even a part time job herself. Unless you have kids, daycare would use up all her money, and try to use up yours. She wants all the really nice stuff, she can go without. As long as you have a roof over your head, food on the table, bills paid, clothing on your back, the other stuff is a luxury. In today's life, it is hard to be on a limited income, but, if/when you try hard enough, you can do it. I wish you the best. Take care.

I'm not from India, so I don't know much about the culture to give a qualified answer in harmony with it.
But...
Ask your wife to work with you to help you get what she needs in harmony with your income.
Ask her would she be willing to accept something that is of good quality but within your budget; or (if you will allow her to work) ask her if she is willing to earn money to help you afford the things she desires.
Your wife is your partner and your team mate. Life will get easier when you both work together as a team. Don't try to do everything alone, but be humble enough to receive her help.
Humility is a sign of strength, not of weakness. For a man who willingly receives the help of others is stronger with the combined strength of his friends than when he stands alone.
One more thing...
What can you do that people are willing to pay you money for?
I don't know the value of service or the value of a days wage in India, but the idea is, if one person is willing to pay you for the service, there are others who also would pay you for the same service.
If 1,000,000 people each gave you $1, you would have $1,000,000.
So look for needs. When you see a need, service the need,

If she isn't working outside the home now, maybe she could get a part-time job. It may be that she really does not understand the value of money or how much (percentage) of your salary her "wants" cost. Having a job will introduce her to how to handle money.
You could also work out a budget together and make mutual decisions on how much to spend in any category of spending. The library has some excellent books to get you started.
Good luck.

she'll never be satisfied. Sit down and talk to her. You need to set goals and what you need not what you want right now. But you can put monies aside and save for something really nice for holidays and birthdays, I've never been like that, I'm just a simple woman.

It depends on what kind of goods. If it is groceries, make friends coupons and the sales papers. If it is clothing & accessories, try ebay, unless she has to have immediate gratification. You can usually find some name brand items for very practical prices, you might have to wait a week or two before you recieve the items.
