She'll get over it, may be a little lonely on your side of the bed but she'll get over it......

THe pictures look like a very wise investment. I suspect when the profit comes in the boss will change tune.

 

[BigDaddyR]

Okay so you're either brave or crazy. LOL. Good luck with them though. Hope you do well.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission my friend.

This is one time you need to work quickly and intelligently. At this point through her eyes you are inconsiderate and fiscally irresponsible. You need to get them cleaned up and sold so you can hand her $150 for her trip and thank her for trusting you on the expenditure. A little bit of profit given to her will smooth the waters down the road.

My wife has never really complained about what I spend money on. If it's something I want, and I'm happy, then she's happy. Same goes for the other way around. If the $$$ is there, it's better spent on a tangible asset than sitting in paper(or binary) form, depreciating in value faster than you can generate more of it. :angrysoapbox:

That said, I don't raid my wife's $$$ stash, and she doesn't raid mine.

I kind of provoked him....... I like pizzin her off about as much as I like saws.

I didn't technically raid her stash, it was in our bank account just sittin there screaming "you need these saws, they will turn a profit!!!!"

Beat me to it

if you got all 3 of those for $100 bucks then Id say you did very well. I also agree with the others- it's very hard to ask for permission when it comes to CAD. I have no problem asking for it for anything else (even expensive stuff) but there is something about saws that just seems to get me in trouble. IN 2012 I was "buy" crazy and bought anything that interested me. This year, I made a goal to only only buy 2 more saws unless I sell something I already have (and now I don't even know if they "540xp & 661" will be avail in 2013).

We have always had 'yours, mine and ours'. Married 35+ years. No problems with toy purchases.


Yup, you need to turn a profit and fast.:msp_scared:

 

[FergusonTO35]

As long as the bills are paid and we have what we need, my wife and I don't worry about each other's fun expenditures.

 

[Big_Wood]

saw, quad, and dirt bike purchases always get me into trouble everything else usually goes ok it's not so much the money though as I hide away bit by bit until I have enough so she don't even notice a big drop :msp_sneaky: it's more the room needed to own this stuff. she already says I have to many saws but I don't even have a fraction of what some of you guys have

You stole $100.00 from your wife and then come in here for validation?

I live by this one! I thought I might have pushed this the day I just showed up with a 100hp tractor. Believe it or not, it went smoother than a $50 chainsaw!

appropriated the money would be a better word.

I see a $300.00 purse suddenly showing up on the other side of the room
