    How to trick the WIFE

    I found that if I needed more than just one part for my boat(s), it was easier to tell her that you only need one expensive one.

    I needed a new 150 amp esc and I told my wife that it was going to cost me 250.00 (hydra 240), then proceeded to buy the Etti 150 race and all sorts of parts that ended up equaling 250.00. :LMAO:

    Good luck with that. At some point she's going to say, look at how much money you spend on just one thing, and I can't even have ________________ ? <= fill in the blank

    Support only goes but so far, then there's compromise. You always end up compromising to what she desires.

    Just something to think about. Now a Swiss bank account, that's an idea

      Lying,,,there's a strong basis for a relationship. Eventualy she will figure things out and then the questions in her mind will be,,what else has he been lying about.......................

        Is she really his cousin?

          First be truthful and tell her everything. Then tell her how hard you work and you deserve this item. I do that and it works! Well not really, it only works until I tell her the part about "I deserve it" thing.
          Then I get one of these

              My wife and I just don't ask about certain things. I don't know how much she spends on her nails, hair, cloths, ect and she doesn't know what I spend on my hobbies. It works well for us and niether of us spend more than we can afford.

              P.S.
              It also helps that I have a small bank account for myself, I get a small porsion of my paycheck and she gets the rest.

                  Mine eventually finds out by going into my RC room in the basement and looks at the orders that are outstanding. She really doesn't care that much as I did tell her I would spend a certain amount. She was with me when I went to my LHS and purchased 8,000.00 on rc stuff, like my blackjacks, hpi 5t, losi 8t, lazer zx-5, and so on. She only wants me to tell her how much is being used.
