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

First ill say: if you guys aren’t ahead in life and you have a sizeable collection maybe slow your roll until 1k is negligible. You don’t need 5+ guns to keep a roof over your head and savings on track.

Second: I told my wife early on I will not ask her for permission to spend my money. Likewise she doesn’t need my permission to spend hers. We discuss anything that affects OUR money.. it’s a balance you guys need to sit down and zero in on.

Communication is the answer
