Some good rules to live by for our HOBBIES and the MONEY we spend on them , when we try to HIDE the costs from our significant others!! LOL !! laugh

1. The important thing is to NOT LET THE WIFE KNOW how much this new hobby is going to cost you. !!

2. sneak the purchases into the garage/basement when she's out at the store.

3. Accessories will cost twice as much as the original tool purchase. Another thing to not let them know !!

When new guitars show up at our house I blame it on the kids.

Here, we're both stupid with money, so we just accept each other's shortcomings!

I’m lucky I don’t hide nothing from my wife that I buy. She says I know your good with money and if you think we can afford it I’m on board

Been with my wife 30 years, never shared a dime. She makes her money, I make mine. Only have to justify purchases to myself.

I appointed mine CFO of the family so she knows. I am still CEO (and make all of the money) so I don't have to hide anything.

I want a sticker on my truck that says..... " The driver of this vehicle does not carry cash ..... He is married " Most times when I work on the island I get a few tips and a little bit of cash work usually turns up as well while I am there..... that money I tend to leave at a gun store on the way home buying reloading related stuff and components. All other stuff we buy is for things we do together. I just bought a new tractor after selling the big beast. I don't hide anything and she can buy what she thinks she needs. I bring the checks home and she spends them ... We both do what we are good at.


Let's go Brandon
