I found splitting money releives alot of fights. Budget yourself some spending money, split it evenly. No one can complain either way. Teamwork is a wonderful thing in a marrage.

Our budget includes an allowance portion, it's spent on whatever we choose. My wife spends hers hanging out with her friends mostly and I hoard mine for new equipment! lol

On that note how long before the GBTA perks up, a couple of heads have popped up . the others are still lying down and " deflated"

well,Happy Wife,Happy Life. I think you have pushed a little too hard, unless you tell your wife you got the GBTA for free....

I told her I traded it for some equipment , but it ****es me off because in reality I probably only have about $1100 into this tank, and it's not like we cant afford to have this tank **** she want's to travel here and there at $3000 a year and I never bitch about that.

isnt marriage suppose to be "whats mine is yours, whats yours is mine"?

how can you people be spending money behind your spouses back and then lying about how much something cost?

i thought marriage was about full disclosure

Are you not married marko? If mine found out I spent $4000 on a light she would tell me that's it. So that's why a lot of us have to bend the truth a little or else we wouldn't be in this hobby. the money came from some where else before you start accusing me of stealing from her etc so it was my money! I know it's not right but I love this hobby to much

I saw him at red coral before, he looks kinda young so I doubt he's married but I could be wrong.

Can't hide anything here Doug knows what everything costs and can easily spot anything new.

so you keep your money separate from your significant other? and you dont ever see each others bank accounts?
