Err NO springs to mind - NO CHANCE IN HELL
Well when we got together some 22 + years ago I was always overdrawn had no decent money management whatsoever if I wanted it I bought it if I couldn't afford it I financed it loans, loans and more loans, then bigger loans to pay of the smaller loans and buy something else - Then along she comes of course for the first year or so it was just the start of the relation ship and we did what most new couples do, when we moved in together we got a joint account and both our wages went in to it.
She did (still does) all the money management, got me back in the black - yes I had to cut back on some of the toys or at least wait a while for them after a couple of years I would tell her what I wanted she would tell me if I could afford afford it - Worked and still works brilliantly -
Can I take my bike test and have a CBR600 ??? - Yes
Can I get a CBR900RR Fireblade - YES
GSXRK1000 ??? Yes
OK A Porsche 911 ? - Yes
you get the idea
I have a great wife, 2 great Kids a nice house and still have some great AWESOME toys - got the borrowing down to the essentials - House that sort of thing - only buy toys when I can afford them - no financing of toys anymore (or there would be a Lambo on the drive )
Holidays - whats one of them then???
If she want's something she gets it, if I want something I get it - we ask each other but I think that's more out of respect We can afford it or we can't
