Fortunately, I have never had her balk at anything I purchase! ((Shake her head...but not balk))

Main reason, unlike 99% of the rest of the world, 'she has her $, I have my $, she has her 'honey, soap, lip balm biz $', I have my 'gun shop, gunsmith biz $' and we have the farm's $." If she wants to buy a new pair of shoes or whatever...it comes out of her $. If I want to buy a new guitar, gun or razor...it comes out of my $. I pay the farm bills out of 'the farm' $. As long as everything is paid for, we both have 'our $.'

It seems that 99% of arguments stem from money (regardless of who thinks they don't...money, or lack thereof, is a huge stress factor in a relationship). 'Our way', if she spends her money on a "..." and is broke 2 days after payday, so be it. Same goes for me.

17+yrs together and we still get along just fine. Must be doin' somethin' right!

((As a side note: We both make nearly the same amount, at our 'real jobs' (most don't) and our kids are raised and out of the home.)) The 'real test' comes in 6yrs, when I retire and she still has another 7yrs left.
