A friend of mine has an interesting solution. He is free to buy whatever he wants, as long as his hobby is self-supporting. He buys and sells antique radios, as well as hi-fi gear. So, but a lot of expensive gear now, so you have some trade bait after she puts her foot down. Invest wisely and have fun!
Wife Acceptance Factor
I hear alot about Wife Acceptance Factor when it comes to equipment. I'm getting married in 6 months. Fortunately, my fiance is pretty accepting of the hobby. Just curious about all those guys out there who have a family and are still allowed to invest their spending money almost entirely on audio equipment. After you get married, do most women step in and try to squash spending on this hobby? Opinions welcome!!!
