My wife is generally encouraging when she knows it's something I really want. She has more of a "live for today " philosophy than I do. I generally fell a little guilty spending on myself, though I've been able to overcome that fairly often As of now I have never used any monies other than my own crazy money. My wife did buy me an Artist Korina for my 50th, and while I was overjoyed with the guitar I was a little upset that she used $ from the household. When she told me it was a choice between the guitar or a party, I shut up! She's really been great about my indulgences.
