ExoBro94 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have a solution for people who face this situation: either tell your wife, or don't by sets you and your family possibly can't afford at the moment. 100% guaranteed to solve all of your problems!

Diabolos80 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 My wife picks Lego winners more frequently than I do. I always (almost) get her approval on a set before I decide to invest. Plus, she's a builder, too, so that helps. p.s. Before I got serious about Lego again, she bought me a Queen Annes Revenge back when they first came out. I made her take it back because it was too expensive. LMAO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Last month I purchased 9 Helm Deeps, 2 Mines, 16 B-Wings, 2 M.Falcons, 1 VW Camper, 2 Vamp Castles, 2 Arkhams, 2 Haunted Houses, 10 Weathertops, 5 Mines of Moria, 8 Orc Forges, 3 Black Pearls, and 2 Hagart's Huts. The wife finally noticed when the new shelving unit arrived (already have 2) and our storage room was mess for 3 weeks. She doesn't understand 95% of my inventory is an investment. Oh well, I do whatever I want so she deals. I stopped talking about her 50 shoe collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I just thought this forum was a missing a bit of male chauvinism Anyway my wife thought it was funny when I muttered it after I proposed. What's that smell?

sadowsk1 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My wife doesn't care. She actually enjoys finding out how much I spend on my hobby since her hobby is very inexpensive compared to Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowestFormOfWit Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I hope this is supposed to be a joke. Ditto. That comment and half of this thread is rapidly approaching the line where it becomes sexism. My woman has full disclosure on everything I do with 'the' (note the lack of 'my' or 'her') money. We consult each other on literally every non-essential purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My woman has full disclosure on everything I do with 'the' (note the lack of 'my' or 'her') money. We consult each other on literally every non-essential purchase. I'm with you. One of my roles in the family is to take care of the finances, and I feel like it's my responsibility to let her know every time I make a purchase. I couldn't sleep at night if anything were to go south financially and she didn't know exactly what had happened before the troubles. She has actually been a very good check for me - I'm forced to make good decisions rather than just spending money indescriminantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
