Valid question.

Post by Reverenddel »

A good friend of mine called yesterday while I was out handling biz-niss. "Hey! GreenTop has your gun you've been searching! Do you want me to put it on hold for you?"

HELL YEAH I DO!

All 'cited about it! Planning which firearms I'm trading against it, etc. etc.

i started to think, besides firearms, and vehicles, are there any other hobbies where your buddies spend your money faster than your woman?

Because Gawd bless her, The Woman would NEVER spend $1000 in a single sitting with me involved, yet, I'm driving up to get my firearm this evening.

My wife is an amazing woman! She can have the checking account to a $0.00 balance before 2 weeks expire of a new month.

No wife or husband, sort of a gift and curse kind of thing. Well I guess you can be alone with your money or together without it. Besides if I wanted my money gone I could spend time with a crook or politician, though I'm still confused as to the difference.

Yup, and mine will go shopping, spend hundreds of bucks on stuff because it was on sale, and then count up how much money she "saved". I have learned the hard way that if I observe that we could have saved it all if she hadn't bought any of that crap to begin with that I'll be in the doghouse for days. And then there's the curious logic by which a woman who must own well over 100 pairs of shoes decides that I couldn't possible need all the guns I have because you can only shoot one at a time. Some things are incapable of understanding and must simply be endured.

When I was working she would give me $1.00 every workday. I argued with her to up my allowance until she broke down and I won. She started giving me $5.00 every Monday.

All the bills get paid out of TBH's paycheck. For the most part, it seems to work out ok. I retain illusion of control over my half of the income.

Although, I did end up with my first ever car payment, and first ever house payment, last year.

Lindsay doesn't mind what I spend money on as long as bills are paid and if there are things her or the kids what, they can get toy too.

Funny part is. She feels guilty spending money.

Marc... you best never let her go.

Just sayin'....

Mine wanted to get fiesty about me being the Sig, until I told her I got them down to $850, they gave me $550 for three inherited guns I didn't want... and that only left me paying outta pocket $317.75 after everything.

"weelll I guess that's okay."

WENCH! I got a $1200 gun for $300! How about you say "DAMN FINE JEW-DI POWERS THERE!" ?

My woman encourages me to get new guns, its odd cause she never asks me if I am getting rid of any? Even the ones I don't shoot a lot..... its weird shes asks me to teach her how to shoot and poop...... Not sure if shes planning on killing me or going hunting with me.....
