I've always followed my uncles example when it came to women and money. He wanted a new tractor one day, so he went down to the dealer and purchased one. After he got it home and put in the barn, his wife came home from a day at the mall and asked him if that was a new tractor she saw out in the barn.
He said, "Yes, it is."
To which she asked, "Didn't you think we should have talked about it first?"
"I thought I'd just save from having one argument.", he replied.
