Statue Costs and Your Spouse

[risingstar]

My hobby has never been a financial concern for the wiser half. However, I have had to remain conscious of the space, including boxes, they take.

if i was married i would tell her the truth, that sh_t always catches up with you sooner or later. the only people i lie to when asked how much these things cost are my parents, i just dont want a lecture on how i could better spend my money... as far as they know they all cost "around $400-500" lol #$1200thanos

Bunch of people I wouldn't want to buy from. Dishonest with the wife? I'm sure it doesn't stop there.

No significant other. Only one of my brothers knows what I spend, and now he ribs me for it.

My parents don't even know about my collection. Would never tell my dad. He's always given it to all of us concerning expenditures. Anything that we value (and he doesn't) is a "rubber asshole" to him.

Lol-if you were married you'd know that you just as likely to get that lecture if you don't lie to your spouse! ��

Seriously though, I guess it depends who you marry. I found that my spouse had much less tolerance for this hobby once we had kids.

Never been an issue - she's cool with it.

I tell my wife the costs but I use a reward spending account I get through my work to buy them. She is a little salty i dont use the rewards for other stuff we buy on amazon for the baby and such, but my paycheck covers all the bills for the family and I just use this spending account. Damn pricing is skyrocketing though and my spending account does not fill that fast, so I have had to chill until I build up more. She would never let me use paycheck money to pay for these.

My husband knows the prices of these statues. Whenever I get a new piece, I get two questions: how much did it cost, and where are you going to put it? But I support his hobby too, which is military firearms, which are more expensive than statues, although far more utilitarian.

I told my wife my XM Ghost Rider cost 300 bucks and she thought that was a lot of money but I should treat myself. I am ashamed...
