He's got domain over the gameroom and all that goes in it, I get the living/HT room. As long as the bills keep getting paid, everything is good.

Though "upgrading" is getting harder and harder. He understood buying a new system. I'd had that one for about 10 years. Swapping my 656A dvd player for the 563A universal player raised an eyebrow though.

Yeah, crazy trade-offs I have made but I do drive the Lexus and all these "upgrades" for my wife were something that was going to be done anyway. It's just that the time-table has been accellerated! The key is making her think that I "gave" these things to her for my purchases!

It has been said that Axioms are worth more than the price one pays for them ( I have definitely proved that )

One of the other foundations is communciation. I guess I don't have these problems because we would talk about it before either of us would make a purchase that large.

The separate accounts along with the joint account can help as well.

Sell the wife.

I've thought about it on many occasions but keeping her around is much less costly than a divorce!

Sounds like someone's been watching a lot of HGTV, steveo!

Been there done it. I've even tried the line, "Honey, the sub came free with the speakers..." I was foiled when she asked me why they were two different brands. Now again, telling the truth is key, but come on guys a little white lie cannot hurt that much. I got a sub out of the fact that the old one (2yrs old) "Blew" so I was justified on getting a new one. At least could hear the "problem" with the sub.

Hell, I make 3x what my wife makes so in my mind I get 3x the toys.

Coming Honey. What you want your feet rubbed...Sure not a problem.

My standard line is "Don't worry honey I will only have it for a few months and I will sell it for more then I paid"..................yeah right but it seems to work!
