I sold it all for beer!

I sold a few sight glasses to fund my brewing obsession and that kept everything off the wife's radar for a while. Boom, brewhardware takes off and now she complains that I spend too much time in the garage messing with brew stuff. She sees it as an extension of the hobby even though I rarely brew anything anymore. Of course, she doesn't mind spending any of the extra income.

Long story short, you sold a few MACs (messing with your MAC hobby) to buy brewing gear (more messing with your brewing hobby AND spending money on it).

When you're married, there really is no more "mine".

Man, threads like this really make me appreciate how level-headed and fair-minded my girlfriend is. I spend my money on what I want, and she spends her money on what she wants. We alternate paying the bills on things that we both want (dinner out, grocery shopping), and she likes my hobby even though she doesn't drink beer.

Maybe I should marry her.

My wife and I have a single checking Account which we share, all of our money is deposited and all bills are paid from there without any division...

We each have a credit card which we use for stuff that we want...I use mine for beer and pool stuff, and she uses hers for clothes and makeup. At the end of the month when I am sitting down to pay bills, I simply ask her what her balance is and pay it...don't ever bother asking what she spent the money on.

Its funny though, I will buy stuff without the thought of asking ever crossing my mind, but I always get phone calls from her like this..."hunny, I'm at Sephora and they are having a really good sale". I tell her "that's great, try not to send us into the poor house".
