Not O/T - Does Marriage Counseling Work?

[wolterse]

Great advice! My wife is an economic major in grad school now so it's really impossible for me to avoid this conversation.

I think I need to pull a Tony Soprano and keep my stash under the floor boards

It's relatively easy to make a case that certain classes of cards likely will retain their value and may appreciate, but to try to justify specific card purchases on the ground that they are a better "investment" than other places one might invest the same money would be an exercise in sophistry that won't get past your wife. I think you need a new paradigm here.

OK, sometimes you just have to get creative. My wife really wanted a couple things that cost $6000 - I know we have young collectors on this board, so I won't say what those items were...I'll let you guess. So I pay the $6K, get more benefit out of the two items than she ever will, then tell her I need to spend a few grand on me. How's that for some creative bookkeeping!

Take Care,

I have typed at least three replies to this, all of which would offend at least 97% of folks.
Two big thumbs up Geno!!!

Carry on,

Again, my collection is very pleasing since my divorce. I also notice a lack of shoes.
