Members wacopacco Posted January 3, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 i cant even trust myself:o although the last year or so i have really been able to buckle down and save money and keep track of where it goes. The only time i spend it is when i know i'll be safe. The Liquid Sunshine i bought last night was impulse, but it's guitar related so it's for a good cause. You could say it's a work related purchase... i'm sure my (hypothetical) wife would understand;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jalfredprufrock Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 My GF has no {censored}ing idea how much I spend on gear. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't empathize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangedrink Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 If you ever meet a woman you feel comfortable sharing an account with, that would be a good sign to marry her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 I have a joint bank account to this day with a girl I broke up with 5 years ago. She and I talk often. I like having it open cause if she screws me over I will know she is the evil bitch I thought she was 5 years ago. Well so far no problemo. Talked to her today as a matter of fact about {censored} men she's been dating. Ah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Narcosynthesis Posted January 3, 2007 Members Share Posted January 3, 2007 I quite liked a friends plan... With his wife, they have a joint account, so pay goes into that, bills, morgage, groceries, etc... come out of that, basically all the essentials that they share, separate from that, they each have an ammount they get x amount of money each month to do with as they please. So he can use his money to buy gear, and she can buy as many shoes as she can afford (from her separate account) and the other person can't say anything against it David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For woman having your own bank account is like us saying "It's okay to have sex with the milkman while i'm at work" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't tell how much I'm spending on gear though. She doesn't know the difference so as long as I keep the amount of gear I have pretty constant it's ok. If it sell off one pedal to upgrade to another she doesn't know but if new stuff keeps rolling in without me selling suspicions arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
