Do you have a secret racing fund she doesn't know about?
.......or are you lucky enough to have her support?

Not really secret but I definitely dont like her to know what I'm spending. She is very supportive and is even going to buy me my new Baer brakes.

No secret fund. She is very understanding and allows a somewhat controlled budget for the car.

No secret fund, but trust me I "pay" for every dollar I spend. She is supportive to a degree, but quid pro quo is an oft spoken phrase....

She doesn't care what I spend because she knows how tight I really am! Lol. And I have buyers remorse for about everything I get anyway.
I know, I know.....I am a wierdo!

She knows about it. She calls it my "loophole" money. I always have a loophole on how to put more money in it. She is very understanding since she quit working to stay home with our daughter and we are not starving, and I still get to play with cars. When and if something were to change, she would lose her sense of humor about it.

I have my own savings account that gets bi-monthly contributions, she knows how much goes in, roughly, but not how much comes out, or where it goes.

I implemented a 'don't ask, don't tell' gag order after our first rumble. As long as we don't go under and I provide a little hush fund girft now and then we're able to maintain a fragile peace!
