I try. Unfortunately, my wife has a rare nervous system disorder which eats up a lot of money.

Years ago I designed and produced a prototype paintball gun. It cost me: her new laptop, camera, a purse or two and many, many shoes. I discovered my key to marital happiness: I can buy anything I want as long as she thinks she's getting the better end of the deal. tongue.gif. If I first spend more on her, while quietly mentioning what I'd like to do next time funds free up, she'll be the one encouraging my purchases out of her own guilt. I'm a sick, twisted man.

My philosophy is this:

 

As long as I provide for my family, I buy whatever the hell I want as long as my purchases don't interfere with the bills. 

 

Life is too short.

Quick! Somebody go buy new gear and post pictures of it to get this thread back on track! I almost spawned a "how do you justify audiophile purchases to your spouse" thread. I do like the prakhar(sp?)'s 2 feet/2 shoes theory from earlier in this thread, though.

K. Here is my latest purchase of some high-end, single dynamic driver earbuds. They sound way better than my previous headphones, which were Beats.
