My wife never asked how much my audio system cost but after acquiring most of the components she decided she could have a major item as well and purchased a very expensive mountain bike. Needless to say, I didn't complain!
This is pretty funny and probably true for most of us
"MY BIGGEST FEAR IS WHEN I DIE MY WIFE WILL SELL MY HI-FI SYSTEM...
...FOR WHAT I TOLD HER IT COST. " :-)
