privacy????? your posting on the internet.... LOL...
but my opinion is :
Im Mexican so it goes something like this
Dear bieja(old lady),
Have some tacos and beer ready this Saturday, I just bought a $2k rear
bumper and am going to install it on Saturday. Te Amo
ok JK!!!!!!!!...
but I usually find some reasons why its imperative to purchase, then follow it up with hey we can buy you some clothes or a new purse or get your hair done or something.. and that usually suffices.

this thread became hilarious I spit my drink out when i read whoever pretended to be the wife.
all seriousness though If you have to ask permission to buy something, it's probably not the best financial move to make. If you could afford it easily it wouldn't even be a question.
Also I would never write a letter to my wife discussing money I definitely keep those conversations face to face. A woman's memory is good enough to bring up shit you say years down the road let alone giving her a piece of paper she can use to say "SEE YOU SAID THIS"

No, that is my wife.
She is looking over my shoulder constantly while I am on the computer. Nosy broad. I was kidding about privacy issues. We got a good laugh about this.
As you might have noticed I am not worthy of a man card. Turned it in when I got married. Actually not sure if I ever had one. She is the money manager. I did the bills once and got depressed for 3 days. Swore I would never do it again.

Well she has an awesome sense of humor lol. When you posted about privacy bs I thought it was another member having fun with the post.
Doesnt look like you need a letter for her to know what you want either haha. But that's a good thing
Mad props to the love of Sammy's life for the profile setup!
I'd like a CBi rear as well I picked up there front in May and now I'm saving pennies for the rear setup my wife would laugh at me if I asked her for help purchasing regardless of what I tried to bribe she'd be like "okay you pay the house off and the new a/c unit and we'll talk" haha she brings home bread for sure luckily I still have a good say in what happens with it just because I do all the renovation on the house and vehicle maintenance. Every couple has there balance that's for sure. But when it comes to "toys" I have to make my own side money. It would be cool if she wanted to help out in that area an she does for Christmas gifts and birthdays but at least she can't hold things over my head well she can't hold my purchases over my head lol

If I were to write a letter
Mom, Dad that's stuff I never old you I ordered will be here tomorrow please put it in my bedroom if you are home before me.
Gracias,
Jake
Basically as long as it's my money I can do what I want with it. As my parents say "better to spend all your money on your truck than on drugs".

It's already terrible, but hey I guess that's what happens when you live on an island with an entire 4 lifted vehicles among 30,000 people

This is hilarious.
Sammy,
Only advice I can offer, which is NOT sound financial advice, but... buy what you want and make sure the next time you go couch shopping you lay down on all of the couches and make sure you would be comfortable for at least eight hours or even a few days.
I LOVE MY COUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELL no! lol.
Yeah I thought it was a spam account too... props to her, that was hilarious
My parents know I won't touch the stuff, so that doesn't work for me lol. And I'm not even living with them. I just bought a fourth car a few weeks ago and they don't know about it yet. As far as I know anyway.

Very well said. Similar to mine.
Step 1: See if I have money in account
Step 2: Impulse buy before I can think about it.
Step 3: Enjoy
Thanks, I bougt it about 8 years ago completely stock. Last year I decided to build it up.

Lol i'm 40 years old and some of the best advice my Mom gave me was " As long as you're taking care of your family and your business first, buy whatever you want because better you live and enjoy the fruits of your labor than die and let someone else enjoy them for you!" lol... To this day my wife laughs at that but it is great advice.. I'm sure most ppl in here are like me and have no real vices and thats one of the reasons me and my wife are cool about my spending on toys.. Because THEY are my vice..
