Lies to your spouse...

[NewHummerGuy]

Just curious as to if anyother forum members lie to their spouses regarding purchases and to what degree.

I generally (on purchases for myself) try and deduct 15-20% http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif off the actual cost of item. I know my wifes threshold as to what she will accept (without receipt proof) versus when she will ask for 7 types of proof.

Anyone else have this dilemma???? Or something comparable http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I'm lucky in that regard. Every single upgrade for my H2 my wife has given to me as a gift. GPS, Gobi rack, winch, wheels. Does that make me a gigolo? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

The only thing I've bought is some of the lighting and the last set of tires.

[NewHummerGuy]

Actually, YES. that does make you a gigolo. Not that there is anything wrong with it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gifOriginally posted by Racer-X:

It's not a lie if you forget to mention it. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

just open another bank account that you only have access to and have a portion of your paychecks go to it.

I call it my hobby fund. It's worked great for me.

Thank god my wife doesn't read this or I'd be in big trouble!

I've never lied to my wife about things like that. Might account for why I've been married more than once.

I don't have to ask for no stinkin' permission!

Sorry...Ex-wife flash backs!

As long as the kids are fed, the mortgage is paid, the bills are not late and the hookers are paid, it's all gravy...spend it! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

"Dennis, how much did you pay for that?"

"Hi Honey."

"How much did you pay for that?"

"Damn you look sexy."

"Answer my question?"

"After 12 years, I'm still in love with you."

"Answer my question!!!"

"Let's make love."

"O.K."

Of course, you also bought her one of her own. That probably didn't hurt. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Not married but as close as it gets. We have a joint account that all the bills, groceries, etc. comes out of and I have a separate account that she doesn't have access to. She knows about the account but I have other sources of income she isn't aware of so this works out great for me.

"Oh, this, I got an incredible deal on ebay"

"But it looks new and expensive"

"I told you, it was an incredible deal"
