My wife and I have a budget for everything!
All of our post tax/retirement money first goes into a joint checking account. Every week my wife and I each transfer X amount of money for ourselves (like an allowance) to separate accounts which we can do with whatever we choose, with zero judgement from the other. We also keep for ourselves any bonuses we each get at work. This is our weekly/yearly "fun money" and my collecting budget. All other money we earn is considered "family money" which is used for bills, vacations, further savings, etc. and is off limits. I realize this system wouldn't work for everyone but it's served us well for the last ten years. We've never had an argument or even a disagreement about money. |

Here is my strategy:
1. Buy $10,000 worth of cards, mostly above market value. 2. Sell them a few at a time, mostly for less than I paid for them, to fund new purchases. 3. Keep adding to my collection by paying more than anyone else is willing to pay. 4. After 10 years, sell the entire collection for $2000. Then start over. It works well for me.
