What is wrong with me - cant stop buying!

My wife has no idea how much i spend on kit, i've gone from a 1000D to a 5D in a few years, and at one point had three DSLR's in the house ! Also have quite a few lenses, and studio lighting etc..! She doesn't ask how much it costs, my saving grace is the lovely photo's I take of our boys every few months with the studio gear, used to cost us £250 every 6 months with digipix or whatever they're called. So i guess you could say the equipment is slowly paying for itself :)
 
I guess I am lucky then.

My wife and I put what we need to towards the house and savings, and anything we earn above that we spend how we wish. I don't get any grief or expectation if I buy something, nor does she.

No point in hiding this stuff tbh, it only goes to erode truse when your wife eventually does find out.
 
I don't have this problem as I don't have a penny to my name, it doesn't stop me looking though!
The only positive I found with my redundancy is that it made me take stock of what I was doing and have a serious look at how easily I spent my money. I've just got to make sure I'm just as sensible with cash when I finally manage to get a job again.
 
I just hope in the event of my untimley death, the wife doesnt sell my camera gear for what I told her it cost :LOL::LOL::LOL:


Les :D
