Advice Needed

I would like some extra cash to work on my truck. I'd like to get a few parts and odds and ends. My question is how do I as my "financial advisor" for money? Keep in mind that my "financial advisor" is my wife.

Christmas gifts! I gave my wife a starter, left fender, and chrome valve covers for Christmas. Since she doesn't happen to have a slick, I guess I can find SOMETHING to do with them! Or, you can always try the line..."but honey, it's an investment"!

Well seeing as i got deleted in my advice to duck quicker .. I will add this..... will get you no where and the truth may not get you there either.

Plan out a truck budget and work it out between each of you. Just how much you spend is relative to how expensive she is to keep.

Yep she got everything BUT the trucks and parts and tools in the BIG D

Try this:

Honey ...I was thinking that I would like to do some things to the truck,

and with that thought ...in all fairness, I was also thinking that you too should have (insert what she would like for something new or add something to what she has within reason)

I was considering adding...blah ..blah... blah... to make the truck ....blah ...blah...blah .

what do you think of that ...(insert name) ...do you think this could be plan ?
