Trust me, the only way this works long term is to 'Fess Up' with the little lady and hand the check book over to her if you haven't already. You may think she won't find out but, something I learned a long time ago...Wives have a Radar System built in and they have this ability to zero in on any Big Boy Toys us guys go after! If you don't confess EARLY on (i.e. IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner) they will act like they don't know (even though they DO) and when you go to reconcile your bank statement or open your credit card bills, you find out that the $2,000.00 toy has actually cost you 3x's as much. Just a word to the wise from a friend...LOL
Just remember where the phrase "You can run but, you can't hide" originated from....yep, that's right...a WIFE! <ggg> So just remember it is NOT nice to mess with Mother (Read Wife!) Nature!
