I told her i was going to buy a $3,000 Omega wristwatch and she didn't say anything so i thought it was ok. however, after i bought it, she was shocked and said she didn't think i would actually follow through. i normally wouldn't buy anything so extravagant but now i hang out with high-rollers, having a decent watch makes me feel at ease. plus i might as well reward myself for doing a good job financially for the past 5 years. lesson learned! never buy anything expensive without your spouse present. luckily she saw that it was her mistake and it hasn't been a source of friction. (if it had been, i would've gotten rid of it on ebay immediately!) my wife and i generally see eye to eye on finances.

lesson learned! never buy anything expensive without your spouse present.
