Telling the wife

[Hudge76]

My wife and I have a limit of $500 dollars that we don’t have to talk about it with each other first. If it’s over $500 we have to talk to each other about to first. At times she will tell me we need to cut to back to say $200 or whatever. I buy reloading stuff and she buys whatever and we never say anything other than what is that. I think the most I have spent without telling my wife since we started that was like $200. It’s nice to be in the financial state we can actually do that. When I was still AD Air Force most times every penny was needed to make it.

My wife occasionally happens to be in the area of my gun safe when it's open. She knows it's got less room now than when I originally stocked it. She doesn't ask questions......and that's the way I like it.

...and the way it should be

Everytime the wife walks in the workshop it's like these Machines just keep appearing . If its what keeps me from going around the bend it's all good. Was talking about this with another mate of mine he was like man you have heaps of stuff in your cave. If I had stuff like this my Mrs would loose her shit. Well that's the differences in women and our relationships with them. I can proudly say we have been together for 19 years never had an issues over $$$ if we dnt have it we can't buy it. But as the kids are nearly finished school and dealing with other health issues it's about keeping healthy and getting around medical issues that I've built my workshop to keep occupied. Plus doing Reno's on the house at the same time .

How do you tell your wife you just brought at another machine for the home workshop . That's wasn't cheap at 6k ??

A . Do you tell her over dinner with the back door open for a quick escape .

B . Just put the machine in the workshop and when she asks about it you tell her have had that for years. Havnt you noticed it

Would suggest a 100yr “time capsule.” Or an addendum to your last will...whichever comes first.

I used to take guns apart and bring them in in pieces. When I finally built my gun room, I had a weaning pen for before I brought them inside. After 37 years, she doesn't even look anymore.

The five scariest words my wife can say to me: What’s in that UPS box?

 

[coorslight]

Any major purchases we discuss first. Except for anything gun related. When we were dating I told her that I don’t stop at the bars on the way home from work, I don’t sit and watch sports on tv on sundays. My only hobby is guns and you will go before they will. In June we will celebrate 39 years of marriage. I do get an occasional what did you order now, when a package arrives.

Darling...I can ALWAYS sell my equipment and GUNS...Can you sell your SHOES ?

I must be the luckiest man on earth. My wife never questions what I buy or how much I spend, she is a true angel. I tell her about my next purchase and the approximate cost before I get it. Her reply is normally, "it is your money, get what you want. You can't take it with you." I typically remind her that it is "our" money. I am truly blessed.

I don’t feel obligated to tall myself wife anything anymore. I was cleaning out her truck and I found a receipt for a tank of gas.!! If she can spend that kind of money and not talk it over with me, then all bets are off.

My wife got me into reloading and I am a bigger cheapskate than she is.

Just don't spend money you can't afford on stuff...or get a side job and agree that the cash goes to your "toy collection."

If you have a good gal, she is worth keeping. My first wife was not right at all. My second one is a keeper.
