your wife said you could? *whipping sounds

I have to consult with my wife if I'm going to spend that much money and anyone who is married should do the same, otherwise they won't be married long.

*whipping sounds* only apply to "my girlfriend said I could..." statements.


Keep your finances seperate and determine who will pay each bill. Have a set amount each much save for emergencies.

Use your spending money on whatever you want. I'd say unless she is giving you the funds you shouldn't have to ask.

Yes, the guy with the handgun avatar and and the assult riffle sig has reasonable advice on relationships. ;)

 


EXACTLY what I was thinking...


 I actually agree with him if I'm in a "modern two job" relatiosnhip.  Even if it is a one job family it's often better to have "allowances" that can be spent or saved ahead of time rather then a "consult on the big things" approach.  Better for relationship dynamic, and most cases better for the wallet as well... so long as you don't deviate from your retirement and investment plans.

Oh I agree with him too. I just liked the idea of a guy with so my gun oriented pictures' response was so reasonable when you might expect him to write "Just bust a cap in her a**!" ;) No offense to West-Pheonix was intended.

To answer your other question: When it was first released, the adapter only allowed taking saves from a PS2 card to put it on a PS3, but since a FW upfade last year, it now goes both ways. So you can use it as a back-up device.

 


I dissagree.  I don't like the allowances idea.  Me and my wife consult on all items over $25.  I think something like this works best.  The allowances idea usually spends more because then you feel like you have to spend whwatever your allowance is or your not getting your "fair share".  And then you can create conflict when someone spends $400 because they've saved up.  Bottom line is it takes two seconds to ask.  If the two of you aren't in financail troubles you should be able to get what you want.  It creates unity and brings your financial goals together instead of pitting yourselves against each other for the scarce resource of money.  I got my wife on board before I got a PS3, and while she'll never be a gamer, I'll never get nagged for the purchase.
