Take the money home, take her out to dinner or buy her something, then you can use the rest of the money..... with her blessing.

My lady and I aren't married and she has her money and I have mine. If I wanted something with that money, I'd just get it.

Usually, when I get a new toy, I buy her a little something, too. Sometimes, she likes a compact of her makeup or something similar. It's about $30 and she loves those "just because" gifts. I usually pack her along and let her pick what she wants.

Even if we were married, I'd never lie to her about it.

She just walked in here and I read this post to her. Her reaction? "I'd just say go for it!"

That trust and "live and let live" attitude is why we've been together for 10 years.

I must be luckier than many of you here. When my wife sees or hears that I've bought a new rifle, she doesn't care what it costs. She doesn't get angry that I bought it without her knowledge. She doesn't wonder why the money wasn't used, instead for this or that. She just doesn't make a fuss at all.

And there's a very good reason why she doesn't do any of that.

im glad to see so many here taking the high road, on being honest with their wives.

Let's see. In the last year, we've remodeled the kitchen and bought a new car that she drives ($38,000.00) so I'd think I'm due. I'd really like a new Savage Weather Warrior in .308 or a Ruger Super Red Hawk in .44 mag. I'm not good at keeping secrets so I'd tell her.

For me it would really depend on where the money came from. And who got the last big toy. Still I'd tell her, but depending on where it came from, that would change how I presented the news... if it's obviously fun-money, well hey, Remington 700. If the car is breaking down and it's not obviously fun money, there's always next year!

350 on ammo

350 on something for her, like a trip to the hot springs.

"Somethings are just more important than rifles. Marital trust is one of them."

Yup. + a gazillion or two. If ya gotta hide such doings, either you're not so smart about money or you're hooked up with the wrong lady.

Heck, I'm too lazy to lie. I figure that if I don't lie, I don't ever have to remember what I said.

Right on! With an adult life of being happily married to the same wonderful wife I agree. And NO, shes not standing behind me.

Also we don't take turns, I quit doing "turns" in grade school.
