I don't tell mine anything.
We both have our own personal money and a joint account for bills, etc.

 

tell my wife pretty much everything but I make her buy it. You know ur wife is cool when all ur x mas presents are harley partsl

 

Same here except I'm already retired and enjoying the hell out of it!

 

Don't have a wife these days and I'm perfectly content.

But back in '84 when I was still married, I came home from work one day and said hey honey, come out here and see what I got. I surprised her with MY brand new Honda V45 Interceptor.

The moments following that unveiling are one of the reasons I'm perfectly content without a wife these days LOL.

 

You know that's be repealed, right?

 

That's funny!!!

 

We both work, both ride, and each have our own bikes so there is very little drama about it as long as the bills are paid and we aren't dipping into our (pathetically small) savings account.

 

I am the wife.

I spend what I want (within reason of course) and he spends what he wants. Since I take care of the bills and accounts, he will discuss it with me if he wants something fairly expensive, but that is to make sure the timing is okay.

I've encouraged him a couple of times to get what he knew he wanted but hadn't gotten; I told him to get the heat guards and we called it his Birthday present, he got it lowered and we called that Christmas etc.

Of course he was with me when I got my SG last weekend, and he knows that there are some things I already have to get (heated grips, brighter headlight etc). But he also knows that I'll get them as the money situation allows. He's just glad I'm no longer spending money on the Suzuki!

 

I do!

 

LOL.

Since I am a tight-*** and a half, my wife will bitch at me until I finally buy what ever it is I had my eye on. She likes riding on the bike as much as I do and would be more than happy to spend everything on the bike.
