I think I will get this and I think I will get that

I'm envious. At what price point do you have to turn to your significant
other and ask if it's OK?

 

Ours is $50.00. It all depends on your income level.

 

$258.93

YMMV

Ideally, well before she notices.

"Don't ask, don't tell"

 

Just before she says 'no' :O)

 

I'm in the position of having a wife who wants what I want. So, getting
permission isn't the problem, getting the funds to get two of them (whatever
"them" may be) is... ;-)

 

"Don't ask, don't tell"

Always stay with the same brand and use the old camera strap on the new
camera.
Then when she asks about the new "L" lens just say, "What? This old
thing?"

 

IMHO, honesty is best.

After I got my 1D Mark II, I can no longer ask how much
something cost, as the only answer I get is:
"Well, it wasn't anywhere near as much as your camera!"

More dick?

 

Do you have a job? Do you earn part of the income? Then there is no reason
to ask. We both have a certain amount of money we can spend each month and
neither has to ask permission to buy anything. Large expenditures that
affect both of us are discussed, like a car, new TV for the family room, but
hobby items, tools, we just buy as needed.

 

If you're single you got no worries at all...

 

If I thought you drank, I'd ask you to quit, or at least moderate.

 

My wife recently passed. If I think of something too
expensive I have these strange haunting dreams... heh.

best bet's just to not have a significant other. then, it's all your own.

Actually, an interesting question. Never thought about assigning a dollar
figure to it.

Sometimes, I just say, "This is what I'm getting." Sometimes, I give fair
warning: "I'm going to be picking up one of these in the next few months."

I suppose that notification is SOP for anything over $100, and my wife
always has the final say. The fact that she's fair probably accounts for the
fact that we've been married so long...

Then there's negotiation. Last summer, we moved to a much larger property
and she really really really wanted to get a dog. I told her that I really
really really wanted the Rebel XT.

The day she brought home the dog, I went out and bought the XT.

Which cost more?

 

Not fair. The final costs aren't known in either case.

Mine is what ever is less than groceries.
