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.

A Triangle credit card can accumulate Canadian Tire money really fast if you're using the offer system in the app, and lots of Canadian Tires still sell guns. Wait until a 20% back day and you get 20% of that CT money back from the gun purchase too.

Just bought a new shotgun by doing this.

I utilize this method often. I’m a seasoned credit card churner and the triangle program is one of the best iv ever come across
