Without jeopardizing the marriage

30 comments
  1. You don’t. You budget, save up for it, and buy it your damn self. If “ur wife” really takes issue with that, talk to a lawyer about an exit plan from the marriage because she shouldn’t be “ur wife”.

  2. Marry a woman with horses. They spend so much on that hobby a sports car looks cheap in comparison.

    I’ve got 6 vehicles and my gf doesn’t even bat and eye at the price because she still somehow ends up spending more than I do.

  3. Don’t be the kind of guy who has to beg their wife to be able to spend their own money.

    For the young guys, this is why keeping separate bank accounts is the only way – assuming you choose to get married (which you probably shouldn’t).

  4. My wife wants a corvette. We made a deal, she can get her vet (when we can afford it) and i can get my viper.

  5. Make/save enough money that you can afford to buy one without incurring financial strain.

    That’s literally it. Beyond that, she’d have no reason to object. If you can afford it without it leading to money problems then get it. This goes double if you’re the sole breadwinner.

    If it’s not going to effect her quality of life, not coming out of her pocket directly and you’re not letting other things go to be able to afford it then you don’t need her permission.

  6. I earn the money. No way am I asking permission. I’ll buy what I want.

    I have restored 2 70’s muscle cars, half way through a 3rd with a 50’s panel van waiting.

  7. It’s your wife, not your mom. Permission? As long as it’s within your budget and not screwing the family over, go for it

  8. “Let you buy a sports car”, if it’s your money and can afford to spend it why would she have to let you?

  9. Get something that’s a good fit for the family and goes very very fast like a BMW M5 or a Maserati Quattroporte or similar

  10. Uhhh… What do you mean.

    If you can afford the car, why would your wife care what you buy; and why on earth would you need her permission to buy yourself a car? Does she ask for your permission to buy herself a car or spend her money?

  11. By marrying the right woman? Seriously, unless you cannot afford it your wife should understand.

  12. Not a sports car, but I have a budget of $40K to get the old school Landcruiser I wante

  13. Mind of the wife.

    Why do you need one? Do you have a proper track for it? Will it cut into necessity spending? If something happens to it and it needs fixing who is going to do that and how much will that cost. You are not putting my kids in that period and I mean it. If you are going to leave it to take up space to look cool we will have a problem. Why can’t you have a useful hobby like fishing or woodwork or the gym? Say we get this for you what would I have to forfeit in the way of luxury items for your car, do you think that’s fair? Will you ever be willing to sell the car if the family is in danger financially? I worry that the car will become an escuse for bullshit can you assure me that won’t happen.

    If you die in that thing I’m fucking strangling you because I told you so.

    Think about it.
