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

Might I suggest you discuss your intent to purchase said firearm and create a separate savings account for it? This way she knows you have a separate budget and are not spending what is being saved up for a rainy day or budgeted for mortgage payments.

Set up a recurring savings thing in your bank app that does towards a gic or something that has favourable interest rates.

Also, see what kind of points your credit card collects and see if any of it can be redeemed towards gift cards. I've bought a bunch of stuff from Bass Pro before using gift cards redeemed from Scene points.

I am lucky I found such a unicorn woman that she is not bothered by me spending money or saving for hobbies. But I recognize she is like 1/40 million.

I am actually curious do you guys find your wives give you a hard time about spending money on your interests or do they not care?
