Whenever I overspend (like I have been lately) and pay a solid market price, I (1) tell her how I've been looking for the card for many years and have always dreamed of owning one, and (2) I remind her of how the stock market has tanked and there is nothing else making a good return, and I back it up with concrete examples of prior deals I've done.

You have to set up this alibi by crowing about your past great deals and the great market prices on stuff you own already.

Or you can just visit "down there" as often as possible. . .
