"Bamboozling the wife" appears to be a theme that runs through many threads. My wife and I have avoided money issues over 30+ years by never combining our finances. Thus, she never complains about my purchases, nor I about hers (I once came home to find a new Cadillac SUV in the driveway.).
I realize this system would not work for all couples and, in particular, those where the wife works at home at child-rearing. Nevertheless, I mention it for the benefit of those collectors who may find it worthy of consideration.
