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

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

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

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.
