[Steve Northrop]

While my wife is certainly "aware" of my purchases, I do not seek her 
approval. To her credit, she does not view this as me being inconsiderate or 
treating her poorly. She knows I'm not going to spend the family into the 
poorhouse. I don't shirk my husbandly/fatherly financial obligations either. 
But if I want it and can afford it, I get it and I don't want to hear about 
it. Simple as that. As for jewelry, I really don't buy any because I don't 
like wearing it ;-)
