Never!!! I drop the gun off in my man-cave and come to the top of the stairs with flowers in her honor....

My wife doesn't want to know, so I don't tell her. I do have a list with values in case I die though lol.
Not talking about Glocks either but Thermal and Accuracy International Rifles etc. |
|
No, I don't ask for permission. I always communicate with my wife...I did warn her that thermal is in m future.
|

No. We have separate fun money checking accounts. mpst of the time I put it into the house anyway.
|
|
No.
But I also do make x5 or x6 more money then her. So things just appear. New guns New optics New shoes for her New parts for her car. New pots & pans. Etc. |
|
Hell no we have seperate accounts for these things. I get screwed anyway because i put all my fun money back into the house. But I love having a nice house.
|
|
|
No but I tell her and she wants to go with me to get it. Then she wants one but in Tiffany blue or pink.
|
|
No, but I talk to her about the purchases because where I spend money and how much impacts OUR future.
|
|
Only when she asks if she sees me unloading it from my vehicle upon return.

I have to sorta sneak to buy gun stuff. Otherwise I wouldn't get a gun unless it was approved and as a xmas gift.. It's easier to be sneaky by building AR15s because you can buy parts here and there. A bunch of small purchases over a period of time for ar15 parts is less noticable then making a large purchase on one gun. Lol
|
|
|
yes but really just to make sure there's enough in the checking acct at the moment so that it wont leave us short for bills or so we dont have to transfer any $$ from another acct to it..

Lol no. Bought a couple shotguns last month weeks she used to it by now.

I don't have to ask permission. But I do let her know when I plan to make a big purchase. There have only been a few times out of many where she strongly disapproved of my intentions, and I chose to refrain from making the purchase.
On the other hand, I usually let her buy what she wants and on a few occasions have convinced her not to make some big purchases. We both are pretty easygoing as far as allowing the other to buy what they want, so that when we do want something big, the other of us can't complain that they never get to make big purchases. In the end, we probably spend more than we would if we were nitpicking each other's spending habits, but it makes for a less stressful marriage finance situation overall. |

View Quote Better to ask for forgiveness than permission, I always say, LOL J- |

No. We talk about big purchases. Guns are not a big purchase.
When I wanted to buy a fun car, I talked to her about it. Same when I wanted to spend a couple G on a new safe. |

Tried that. Got screwed over.
Asked the wife to buy a revolver for SASS. Worked OT and my 2nd job. Brought home $1600 one week and $2100 the next for 3 months. At the end of those 3 months, checked to see how much we had saved up. It was $154 out of $22,200 that was brought home. Rest was spent on 'bills'(aka shoes & purses). Had my direct deposit from 2nd job goto a separate account and transfer over as needed. Paid for it next payday. Don't say shit to her about whatever I buy since then. Want respect? Act respectful. |
|
I pretty much run everything by her. She has never told me what to do, but common courtesy would say that I should tell her how our money is being spent.
She will reel me in on some things that she knows are impulse buys. |

In my household we usually talk over any large purchase over 100 bucks regardless of who makes it. Its not asking permission rather showing respect to one another.

No. I make the money, she doesn`t work, therefore, I make the rules.

Pretty easy to spend $100, these days. My wife and I wouldn't get anything done because we'd be talking about money all the time. It really is easy to spend over but its mainly fun purchases we talk over. I have plenty of toys and ammo purchases are never an issue. Price of paying of school loans. |

No I don't ask about her shoes. She don't ask about my guns. We keep separate accounts. It's the way GOD intended it to be.... WarDawg

Quoted:
There a difference in asking permission and talking about a large purchase. I'm about to throw down money for three suppressors and a thermal sight. I had the money budgeted and I informed her like an adult would. View Quote This. We have a clearly outlined budget. As long as I'm staying inside it, there's nothing to ask. |
|
|
No, because I already know her answer and do not care to listen to it
|
|

We discuss any large purchase, that goes both ways. She is into guns anyway so that's never a problem.
|
|
Quoted:
Not specific to guns, but we're not filthy rich, so any non-monthly spending over $100 usually requires communication, goes both ways. View Quote Same here, if it is over 50 bucks, we talk about it. There have been times where talking to one another has led to a different purchase, usually a better model of whatever. We are both all about best value for our money spent. |
