It is easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission from the wife. Of course, when ever I've done that it costs me double with the cost of new stuff for the house, jewelry, clothing etc.
In the past whenever I got a project she went to the jewelry store and came home with a new bauble. Unfortunately, I'm now behind because I haven't gotten an projects for several years, but she still has the bad habit of going to the jewelry store. Trouble is, I can't afford to catch up. LOL

You just can't win, so you have to decide which "toy" you want most and can deal with being nagged daily about!
That's my marriage advice for the day...

I tried that route with my wife... "I hate those old pickups that always need something fixed on them". So, I brought home a 2004 Fatboy. That didn't go over very well either... "your're going to get killed and leave me a widow with two kids to raise alone" and "I can't believe you paid that much for a motorcycle" and "where are you and that stupid bike club off to now?"
