I don't think you can justify a new one in 3 yrs. Maybe new living room & den furniture. :shrugThrow in a trip to Paris!:rolleyes
Or, you can tell her that you deserve it because you are the hardest working S.O.B. in the house!!!!:bang

If you throw in the 'Paris' deal, make sure its scheduled for approx mid June. That way you can slip off down south to the 24 hours , might as well get something out of it worth while.

Or let me "rephrase". If the main breadwinner has to ask the other spouse then it might be time to consider a new partner. He/she who makes the money says how it is spent. Just my opinion

Especially if you have kids under 18. The younger they are, the less your percentage.

Already been there, and you are right. It is about 75/25 after only 3 years. Second time around I found someone who did not suck blood. :bored

The split would cost far more than my current car, boat, machine, fab, and storage shop intrests.

Future Values particularly across the border continue to increase ...I took this pic of a 178 mile Heritage going for 270 thousand in Mexico City another one with higher mileage topping at 290 thousand....

It is often the case. However if she spends at such a rate than more than 50 to 75% of your money will be gone in 5 years, it may be best to cut your loses and build a better future.

That's why many say it is better to rent than buy.

Well, that particular strategy didn't work out too well for Tiger Woods, Mayor Villaraigosa, or Gov. Spitzer (just to name a few), now, did it...

Me thinks you missed the point Mister light Pockets. If those three, the Mayor, The Gov and Mr Too Much Wood had only rented and never purchased in the first place they would be quite a few sports cars ahead.:lol

Aaaaaaaaand then again mebbe NOT, my overly analytical, nitpickin' GT brother. That could depend on exactly who 'twas a-doin' the rentin', WHAT he was a-rentin', and just what is job/career/social position/station in life might be. :tongue

Well if that it so, then why didn't it hurt Mayor Berry? Care to tackle that one? And I will advise you to stay clear of politics if you do. I would so miss your daily commentary while you are vacationing. :rofl

If it floats, flys, or fornicates you are supposed to rent.

Once you buy you can no longer rent. Never do both at the same time!

Shooooot, I own 8 cars and, on occasion, I still find it necessary to visit the Hertz counter...and I'm NOT speaking metaphorically. :mad
