I am the deadest of dead meat.

I use the line "I've had that one for a few years." All the time. She doesn't get the thousands spent on guns at all. Shoes...now that's another story. She can buy those all day long and its fine.

we've got the one shared account. However I have my "loose change jar". The only problems I run into is when I want to buy a new toy (I.e. and optic) and she complains that its her turn for a new toy (new optic, new stock, etc..).

THIS. I encourage my wife to buy what she wants if we can afford it. Coach bags, new jewelry, new clothes, whatever. Then my occasional purchase doesn't seem so bad.

Wait 'till you have to explain $2700 on an Premier Reticles 1-8X.
My advice, hide behind roses.
Lots of roses.

Shit... My dizzy broad will spot a piece of gear I've had forever and accuse me of buying something new.

My wife really could care less.

I had that setup for a while and only left it to get into a lighter optic; I really like the ADM mounts. You need to setup an ING account, they were made for covert spending.

It helps to run my own business with packages coming in all the time...

"I've had this for a while" is a great phrase as well, as has been mentioned.

Bingo.

My lady spends on Chanel, Louie, and diamonds.
She's got no issues with my spending on on my black rifle hobby.

With mine it's horses. We take turns buying toys and it works out great. We have a running joke... "for every horse I get a rifle." Problem is I have plenty of room in my safe and we're full in the barn. I need to reassess.
