I tell me wife when I buy stuff but she never ask's how much it was. I don't think she really cares as long as the bills are paid.

my g/f of 4 years tries to tell me what I should spend my money on. Told her if/when i decide to marry her she can have some say in it, until then its none of her business

Amen to that brotha. My girlfriend was like stop wasting your money on stupid sh*t!

I was like "what was that you said before money and after wasting"

She said "your"

I said "exactly... get over it."

I'm the breadwinner in the relationship and I told her the day we get married is when it becomes our money, until then, stfu.

Meh...i dont really hide things, but dont explain it either, seems when i say how much i spend on things she wants me to spend the same amount on her. Fck that. lol.

She just rolls her eyes now whenever i open a new package, which has been like every few days here lately. lmao. Fck it, i know my truck will be with me until I decide to end it, her i have no idea about.

*Edit, im not married but we live together and have for around 1 1/2 years now.

I usually have shit delivered to work , she notices sometimes and I will use the 'I traded (insert something shitty here) for it' and it usually works. She will be like 'Did you get a new speaker, I thought it was square (L7)' and I am like 'You are crazy that was years ago, this is the 'insert a bunch of technical shit here including megabytes, gigawatts and shit' I traded for the square one silly girl.

I keep an endless supply of old gear and shit just incase I have to come up with a 'trade' excuse and usually just toss whatever it is in the trash //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I also have control of paypal (we have a business) so I get a decent chunk of change from that from whats left over after business expenses.

I don't hide anything from my wife. We disscuse every purchase.

In fact. She knows that the build that is goin on will be hers. She'll be runnin it in the lanes and listening to it more after I get my car for comps.

Been marries almost 10 years and my wife hates my addiction to car audios, but says buy whatever I want as long as it doesn't take food off the table.

Man I wish my soon to be wife was like that. She hates the car audio with a passion. So yes, I have to be sneaky. In a way I tell her, but like Toasted, I say I am trading stuff or selling other crap, when in reality, it is sitting in my parents garage, lol! I hate it, but I wish she would be like you can do it as long as there is food on the table. Nope, she wants me to pay off all my bills so I can help out more. Thing is she makes more than me, yet is in more debt and I have well over 80k in a couple different banks due to me selling a house I owned and made a nice profit. Thing is I won't touch that money because I am saving to either build or buy what in my opinion would be my dream house. So have a long way to go, lol!

So I hate when she brings up my debt when in fact I could pay it all off tomorrow if I wanted too. Just would have to take the money out of savings, which I refuse to do unless of an emergency.
