This is the way!I’ve found that stretching out the spending keeps things under the radar, or perhaps just isn’t worth arguing. When I need to spend significant amounts at one time (rebuild trans), I start talking about it a few months out. Then it gets old and when it show up on the account, there’s not much left to argue over. A few times a year I’m asked what my “budget is” for the car (and also for the truck, sort of). Fortunately my boss at work just got an $11,000 estimate because he left his truck in 4-hi for about 700 miles, and that was an effective counterpoint to me spending 300 on a 90 amp eastwood mig, timing light and compression gauge. Takes at least as much skill and focus as lovemaking, and one can influence the other.
Jesus. That's awesome.Buy one! Humor her....says the divorcee.....

I have preached this ^^^ for as long as I can remember, long before we even thought that girls maybe didnt have cooties after all, but yeah its YOUR money if you earned it, as long as you have contributed to your responsibilities then its your life and your funds man, just because you decide to share your life with someone does NOT mean that you give up on your own dreams or your own life, relationships exist to enhance your life in a positive way, if thats not happening even for a little while then its certainly time to rethink your reason for sharing your life with that person and when I say that I am talking about any relationship, friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, acquaintance, any of them, if they dont bring something to the table then its time for them to generally go, this is my truth, my belief and therefore my reality.The way is to live beneath your means and find yourself a partner who wants you to be happy and doesn’t give a f*ck what you spend on the cars as long as it doesn’t take food from their mouths or your kids mouths.
I will never understand this every single time I hear it. This is not okay. This is not a healthy relationship to have someone in your ear chewing you out because you spent your own money on something that makes you happy. Are your bills paid? Kids fed? Plenty of money left for food? Then there’s literally no reason to complain. At all. If they don’t understand that, find someone who does.
If you ARE buying car parts instead of feeding your family though, then yeah. That deserves a verbal pimp slap.
But seriously. I could drop $16,000 tomorrow on the talon and as long as it wasn’t money specifically set aside for something else, and it wasn’t going to put us in a bad spot, my wife wouldn’t care at all. She’d smile and shake her head because I’d be grinning like an idiot all excited for my parts or my video games or my tuning software, or whatever. She’s been that way since she was my girlfriend. Still that way now almost 15 years later.
Seriously people. Stop accepting abuse. That’s what it is.
What??? why? why would anyone want to live with someone that feels that way? what kind of living is that? I mean I guess there's a lid for every trash can but yeah, that wouldn't ever play with me.You are probably a lucky rarity. Reality is people have different opinions on what extra/luxury money looks like. You didn’t mention retirement plans, insurances, etc. Some of us would need a million in the accounts for ours to be okay with that type of spending on toys and not bi***. Be thankful and show her.
