I've never been busted, but I keep track of the finances, so I think I get it worse in some respects. My wife makes no attempt to assist me in willpower, she just tells me that I know the budget and what we can afford.

Seriously, with a charge showing up as Bang Good on the statement, you are gonna get some legit questioning. Especially in light of the whole Ashley Madison thing ha! You carry the blame here. You should have forewarned her. But if she is tripping out on some $10 stuff, you may want to delete your CPF account too! lol

Every light I order is a Budget rig from China or parts. :thumbsup:

My wife asked the other day if she needs to look out for any packages any time soon....

So I guess you could say she's cool about it.

Now if it was 'our' money I was spending...yeah I'd give her the heads up before pulling the trigger.

But I use overtime $ for the toys I buy.

LOL.. no she did not trip out over the $10. Her first thought was that our bank account had been compromised! She figured it out and then set the trap for when I got home to mess with me.

Wife: "What's this charge from Bang Good? You didn't buy another flashlight did you?"

You: "No, it's another woman! Honest!"

Wife: "It'd better be! I told you no more flashlights!"

I have protection!!!! For a start i have my own account, 2nd i get delivered to works add:whistle:

Although she does like flashlights and find them useful(not to my extent). She does not mind the odd one coming though the mail. Besides she is used to me and knows i am a gadget guy, i have more vape stuff through the mail than lights, be it fluids,cells,tanks and mods.

Or maybe better put, think she has given up on me :laughing:

Yup because I can't hide it anyways. She is home when the mail comes and I'm at school plus she knows what lights I already have so when I get a new one she notices lol

I get the "is that new" question sometimes too because some of mine look brand new. I am truthful though I don't think she believes me sometimes. I just have a lot of lights I got just to get and they are never used.

I always let her know when I am going to get one(even though she might not remember i said it), and we have an understanding.. I have my hobbies as long as I let her know what I am buying and she has hers... Kate Spade Purses, Shoes, and clothes.

My wife is very cool with my want's and toys. She thinks it is ridiculous i would spend $400.00 (TM36) on a light. I also laugh at her when she spends $300.00 on coach purses, shoes etc.. so it all evens out for us. "Bang Good" That is funny though..
