       Edited to add: the video made a good point, but I couldn’t help
       but notice that several of the phrases and things in the tirade
       aren’t even joke-English, but Irish (e.g. Guinness,
       top-of-the-morning’). Or was that an extra layer of irony,
       guying the inaccuracy of so many ethnic stereotypes, as in the
       way the man, learning that the woman’s grandparents were Korean,
       instantly mentioned ‘a really good teriyaki place’?

       I absolutely think that is part of the joke.

       "You know, I don't think that we do based on what you have told
       me before. But it might seem that way because we prioritize
       different things in spending."
       It might be that she is talking about take home pay....She may
       have a bigger mortgage/home equity loan/student loans and
       doesn't have as much discretionary incomes.
       She may value things and you may value travel.  She may value
       eating out but you value something else but eat in to save
       money.

       That could be a good response actually.  Everyone has different
       priorities for how they spend their money and as long as you're
       being responsible that's fine.
