Hey I thought you were a one watch only kind of guy?

Make the wife happy for now, and wait and get the watch later.

Good things come to those that wait.

Isn't marriage a trip?

Last year my husband and I agreed to sock all the money we could into the house to get it paid off. A month after our agreement, he bought himself a new car. He already had a three-year old car that was the same make and model, but he didn't like the color or the "wimpy" wheels. The newer car cost $19,000 plus his trade-in. A few months after that he spent around $4,000 for flight simulator gear and a new computer for himself.

Soo... maybe it would comfort you to know that in the married world of give and take, the score's even for men and women. Your wife won one and my husband won one.

Don't view it as a loss you will always get something better at the end.

My wife is incredily cheap!

This is why we are financially free with no debt and plenty in the bank at 33.
