Yeah, the only thing that I have to do is Beat The Fun Governor To It Before She Does, you know the Wife. But now I just tell her that it is for my Friend and he wanted me to get it because he would be out of Town for Business and He did not want it sitting on His Front porch. So far she has bought it hook, line, and sinker.
In our house, as long as the bills get paid, my wife doesn't care what camera stuff I buy. I don't tell her how to spend her money and she doesn't tell me how to spend mine.

Oh I know that. I give my Wife $2500 a month for her to spend on whatever she wants. I was basically joking around when I typed that Reply. But, I do help my Buddy and he has stuff delivered to my Home because he is still working for another 4 months until he can retire from the DEA also. I really don't care about cash, I started investing in the Market while I was attending The University of Michigan. I put $14,000 into IBM in 1980 and through all of my re-investing of dividends and Stock-Splits, I now have 3800 shares at approximately $136 a share. I also bout 250 shares of Amazon when they IPO'd and 1000 shares of Apple when they came out. Then my Wife had 45,000 in her IRA and I had just enough to grab Her 1000 shares of Netflix which I kept it through the 10-1 split and the 4-1 split. So, I sold 27,500 shares at $320 a share. I had done the same with my IRA and I can see the prices of Cameras, Lenses, and all of the other Gear going up. I have trimmed down all of my holdings and it hurts due to the fact that my Capital Gains Taxes are going to split me in half. I turned 64 and I do happen to be wealthy, but in the end after I pay my taxes and Hers, we will be worth quite a bit. Please don't take this as if I'am bragging, but my Parents moved Our Family from Queens N.Y. to Michigan just because I was going Out-of-State to attend College. My Father was in the Union end of Business for Cement Contractors and Waste Haulers while we lived in Queens and He had a lot of People Immigrate, thew right way, to America. I actually miss Queens, but I would not make it for more than 48 hours there today. I can say one thing though, Family there was Truly Family. But, back to Your reply, I actually do feel that it is a good thing for Married Men and Women to have separate Accounts, even though I was not raised like that. But, I have seen way too many Divorces over Finances. In fact, I went to a Domestic Situation here in Michigan where the Husband shot His Wife over the Fact that she caused their Checking Account to bounce. So, I do think that You hit the Nail on the Head with the way that You run Your Home. Right now I used a lot of money to buy a pretty nice sized Commercially Zoned piece of Property and I probably will be putting up a Nice Plaza with large amounts of Square Footage Buildings and my Brother works for the ATF, and I might be putting a Gun Shop with a 6 stall shooting range and then next to that I will be putting in a Camera Store that will sell all types of Optics, such as Rifle Scopes, Surveillance Equipment, and Dell and Apple Computers. Cash is not King anymore so I plan on holding Solid Goods as my majority of Investing. My Brothers and I, mostly I, are waiting for the next crash in Homes. I plan on buying as many as I can and I told My Brothers that How WE Rent is getting enough to fix things and Cover Property taxes. I want to help those in need. After all isn't that the right thing to do? Good Luck and I Pray that You and Your Family have a Safe and Fun 4th of July.

I totally agree with you, Jim, that would make me 29, perfect.
I'd only be 9!
