Her Unbiased Denfense
She says she wants to buy a Michael Stars' beautiful black fitted turtleneck in a classic shine fabric because it's a must-have item for every woman. It's perfect for layering or to wear on its own and it only costs an affordable $47. My Unbiased Denfense I know for a fact that discount department store Conway is selling $5 neon pink or turquoises colored turtlenecks for their winter clearance sale. That means she can buy 8 (4 pink and 4 turquoise) turtlenecks which will last her for more than a week. And, she will be able to walk away with $7 to grab herself a couple of slices of pizza and a diet soda. Or, if she were a little more thoughtful about her loving husband (me) she could buy 1 turquoise colored turtleneck and use the remaining $42 on me. Here are some things she could buy me. 1. Superman caped pint glass - $9.95 2. Buttered popcorn jelly beans - $4.95 3. Star Wars talking key chain - $8.95 4. Cock blocker bottle stopper - $7.95 and 5. The I will drink you bitches under the table t shirt - $9.95 Total cost $41.75... which is still .25 cheaper than buying 8 turtlenecks at Conway. What's your unbiased thought? Until tomorrow. Jai

I don't know too many husbands who haven't had a similar argument with their wives! Now, my guess would be that the pink and turquoise turtlenecks are the wrong color, wrong size, wrong shape, etc. For you, the one she wants is the wrong price. So, you'll have to find a better compromise. Maybe the $20 turtleneck at Target is a better option, while still reducing the spent money.

Very good point and yes we are talking about it. In the end of the day I love her no matter what.

Absolutely. But, make sure you emphasize the importance of the cape on the Superman glass. ;)

I forgot to add that you guys look like movie stars even when you are casual, and where is this place? it looks beautiful. Being in NY stuck without a car makes me crave nature so much

My My... I miss you. That is before we had kids... It's in 2008. That's why we look so good. 4 years later, 3 years of pregnancy, 2 kids, 1 wife, and 0 dollars makes uglier, older and grey...

heh -- boy does this all sound all too familiar. The way that we finally sorted it out was that we made a clothes budget for both of us and the other wa free to spend thier part of the budget however they liked with no complaints from the other. The same was true with the hobby budget ;)

It's funny how so many man are with me on this point and the women are getting violent. They can't control their emotions. It's only a turtleneck. :)

Something gotta give and I think it should be your caped pint glass Jai. Black turtleneck is classy. Caped pint glass... not so much. :)

Well, like my wife always says when something like this comes up "there is a reason it is this expensive, feel the material". I look back after I felt the material and tell her that it feels exactly the same, then I get the disappointed look of "stop being so cheap"

Well...I would never pay $47 for a turtleneck (or for a shirt, if I am to be honest). However, if it comes out of her own fun money, then it shouldn't matter. My husband and I each get some money that we allow the other to do whatever they want with. It's nice to have that freedom, and it alleviates arguments like these!

Great point. However, we didn't argue. You see Colombian women don't argue they give their husband what is known as the Colombian Neck Tie. :)

You can't go wrong with a black turtleneck. It's versatile and always looks nice- she could even wear it to work.

Well she won I lost. Women & their turtlenecks rule. :)

I'd suggest fun money budgets. Mr. BFS and I each receive $125 a month to spend or save as we wish...I no longer nag him about $50 video games and it allows me to feel comfortable splurging on trips to visit blogger friends a couple of times a year.

I don't mind spending $$$, but I am pragmatic. I like to look at the CPW (cost per wear). If she wears 25 times a year and it last for 2 years, then it is roughly $1 each time she wears it.

As a future husband (very soon), I need to know how to handle this.

I agree with you but if I were you I would delete your comment so your wife to be doesn't see the truth... :)
