Shitpost / Memes Convincing the boss

I know there’s a lot of guys on here who say “Buy once/cry once or who buy it and sneak it into the safe but let she realistic…

How do you convince the wife, between mortgage, bills, renovations, etc. etc. to not lose her absolute mind when you want to drop $1000+ on a new firearm?

I’m trying to have a happy marriage here folks. Give me your tips/strategies

We each have a bank account we transfer equal amounts of fun money too each month. We control them independently as our own "judgementless spending" accounts. If I want to spend $1000+ on a firearm, I just save up a few months of fun money and then pull the trigger (pun intended).

We do everything jointly but feel we should still retain some autonomy to do whatever we want with our fun money without feeling like the other person might audit them. Just one rule: no debt allowed.

No debt for guns and equal spending cash. 

If she wants to spend her 1k on Starbucks coffees and a few medium sized purchases, power to her. If I want to make my own cheap  tea and spend all my gun money on a gun,  power to me
