I've also found that timing is important when trying to discuss doing the upgrade or new purchase. In fact, finding the right time to discuss it is almost as important as the argument for why you need the new item. Make sure that your wife is in a good mood so that you are most likely to get a positive response. This could be after an evening of taking her out to her favorite restaurant and movie of her choice. When trying to convince my wife that I needed to upgrade my Bose Acoustimass speakers to Axioms I had to wait about two months waiting for the right time to bring it up. I spent quite a bit of time thinking of exactly how I was going to convince her why the upgrade is needed when the old speakers work just fine (if anyone has heard these Bose speakers they will know that the speakers do not work just fine).
