Not O/T - Does Marriage Counseling Work?

[HercDriver]

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!!!

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

My wife is not happy with what I spend on cards. We've done the investment/not an investment thing, and as best as I can tell if I won't agree to liquidate them (which I won't), they ain't an investment. Doesn't matter if I can prove that they've appreciated or not.

Fortunately, my wife makes pretty good money and likes clothes (and shoes). I've seen some of those bills. I try to stay within reason, but when I don't and she bitches, I ask how much money her clothes are gonna make us. That generally: 1) shuts her up; and 2) results in me being celibate for an undetermined period of time. I guess its all about trade-offs.
