So my wife and i were going over the bills and expenses before taxes get done, and i am now given a $100 a month rc budget, but i can choose to save up for a couple months if i so choose. that comes after pretty much all my big purchases. So all in all im pretty pleased there was no yelling just conversation. just wondering if this is common with others wives or not?

I don't know...does my wife yell at you much?

Kidding aside, my wife hates the whole RC thing because of the clutter that goes with all the "stuff". It's taking over the laundry room where my bench is.
She also dislikes (hates) the "day off" we get when we go to the track for 8-9 hours. We avoid housework and chores on those days (which so far this year is 2). She never yells really. She's just very good a choosing her words to let you know that he isn't happy about the hobby and doesn't want it becoming a bigger drain on time and money.

that is the same way my wife is about the whole thing, not really yelling but good with words. She thinks its funny that I like to play with toys and how it takes up so much of the our time. With my new job I only work from 7am to 3:30pm so I think that she will be much happier now that I will give her more time and she even said I will be able to go to one practice night and race on Sundays and I wont hear one word about it.

That is how I used to have to do it in the military also, I know how much you get paid and to be able to run a couple of nice cars like you have now you almost have to be on a little budget like that.

I really wish LHR was open during the day because it would be so easy for me to go there between 8am-5pm.

I agree with Dave, LH should be open from like noon to 10:30 pm on practice days. That way 2nd shift people and those with flexible schedules could go.

If wishes were fishes....right?

Ehh...what she doesn't know won't hurt her...that's my motto

They all look basically the same in her eyes, it's just a r/c that I'm working on. It's when she saw them all lined up on the same bench...That's when it became a reality!!

yeah I have the $100 a month budget in place right now actually at home. The wife swears she doesn't hate my hobby, she just hates anything that goes along with participating in the hobby. I already told her I will be spending about $800 this year on traveling expenses alone, she about died.

I sure am glad I dont have one of those wife things. Sounds scary

There's good days and there's bad days....

man it feels great to be single. All my hard earned money is mine and nobody elses. No limits, no leashes, no yelling.

Sorry,had to do it

no sex either........ poor you

I was gonna say no lifelong partner, friend and companion, but that gets it across, too.

No children, no family. But heck, Ryan's young and has plenty of time to ruin the remainder of his life by settling down and having kids.


I'm just KEEEEDING.

naw that aint gonna happen dave. Im fed up with trying so i figured out my life the other day. Gonna spend a ton of money on my self and have nothing but fun in life. Im sure once and a while il have a little fling but knowing me it wont last that long. After i get hurt from that short little dating period il be spending tons of money to feel better again. By the time im 26 i plan to have 2 cars, 4 wheeler, all the rc stuff i ever wanted, ect. My life is just gonna be spending money on me and having a nice job. Ive really got nothing else to look forward to. Ive got no social skillz for a gf, no will to go out and do anything with anyone, no looks, no self confidence. Spending money on myself is the only thing that makes sense at this point.

I'll bet you a dollar that in 12 years you will be singing a different tune.
