She sure is a very nice lady! -
Why on earth would you tell the wife???????
"Hi honey, check out my new German Cross I only spent $2500-$3500 dollars on . . . what do you think of it?"
Are you crazy? Don't get me wrong, get one if you can, get a Knights Cross if you can . . . . only after all bills are paid and the wife won't know if you dropped the cash for one.
My little lady would go bezerk if i had bought a new item, and she knew the real cost . . .not thinking of the investment opportunity, of course, She would only see the lost opportunity for shoes, clothes, and travel.
You need to have a seperate and very QUIET hidden account for the collection and emergencies . . if something major comes up then you can sell something from the collection and save the day . . . but no matter what, don't let the Frau know about the second business.Comment

Gary,
there is no way Mike could hide anything (even if he wanted too). The first thing tou see when you enter the house thru the front door is a bazooka and a huge radio set. And from there it becomes more and more...
Lisa is just a very understanding and loving women!

Thanks Dietrich ..and you're right, it's hard to fool her . But I still have a little rainy day fund put aside
I showed her the German Cross when it came in and ..her first comment was --
" For that much Money , shoudn't it be a lot bigger ?"
Gotta love it

I love my lady as well . . .but I also know what to share with her. If it's about the cost of things, whether its an item for the ranch or my collection . . it's best to leave that one alone
I avoid that trauma and drama . . . then again I'd probably drop a brick if I knew what she spent on shoes, clothes and make-up other girly things.

Hello Mike,Originally posted by Mike P. View PostHi Howard ...John told me you just bought 2 DK's at the SOS show ..If you can , post a few pictures of them.
Yes I did buy a couple of DKiG at the SOS.
I'd hate to take the spot-light away from your cross.
I'll consider posting them later, in their own thread.
Cheers,
