Like when I was trying to explain to a non-reefer about my reef tank.

" My reef tank is like a high maintenance Trophy Wife. Beautiful to look at , but requires constant maintaining.
Biggest difference is " my tank doesn't Talk Back" lolll

My plan is simple. Of all the tanks and equipment I have had over the years, nothing was ever purchased without my wife knowing about it. Its always been both our monies and we are always up front with any purchases. Perhaps thats why we are still happily married after 42yrs.

Like Doug all the money in the house is our money. But we budget so each of us has a set amount of mad money every month and what I spend that money on my business.

Maybe someone can help me out with this one...

"Pay 80% beforehand and 20% with her there" or "pay cash so it's not traceable"

I still have the problem of extracting the 80% or the cash from the account. Either way she'll know I took a buttload of money. Hints please!
