Does your wife have any idea?

[Caveman Jim]

Mrs. Caveman was surprised to know that I sold a few woodworking tools and proceeds from "The Pit" to fund "The Room"...
Back when I was a healthy woodworker, when I bought a new expensive tool she got a piece of jewelry.

The Mrs has vague memories of some wooden boxes I bought not long after hitching up and askes once in a while if I still have them.

My gun trust solved that problem. The wife doesn't care, and the kids named in the trust will take possession of the firearms that aren't already at their houses.

My wife is my partner in all things. I don't hide stuff from her.

She doesn't complain, however she is encouraging me to get another gun safe or two to handle the overflow and another one for ammo.

I'm literally going to have to reinforce the floor if I do this. I love this woman.

Yes, wifey has list and value of everything for insurance, plus safe combos.
@flashpan , you've seen my stash of waffen, tools and components. It's grown.

Heck, my wife has probably spent nearly as much on guns over the decades we've married as I have.

Yup, she's a keeper

Good point, and please tell her thanks for gifting me that Sig P210 Target.

Definitely safe combos. And inside the safe a list of contents and values can be found.

How many wives or(sig others) have any clue how much money you have tied up in all the ammo and components stacked up in the basement/garage?
And a friend once shared his fear that if he passed, his wife would sell his guns/ammo for what he told her he paid for them.

Mine's sorta the opposite. She knows, has declared our home a sanctuary for wayward firearms, oftentimes is the one buying ammo, and would like to add a Barrett REC7 and M82 or M107 to the inventory.

If there is trust in the marriage (and there should be) then I don't see a need or reason to even talk about it. As long as the household is taken care of what does it matter? Do any of you ask them about how much they spend on their hobbies, interests or whatever?

I don't. Again, trust.

As long as people do a good job of marrying someone with the same values. When I got married, I was the spender and we did ok. Bills got paid, etc. But, when we really decided we wanted to commit to having our own home and saving enough to weather tough times, our overall "wealth" started to really take off. I fear if I didn't change, my marriage would have more issues or it would have ended. It's almost like having a good business partner.

I dont give a bubblegum what she does with them when I die, keep them, give them away, sell them. I'm dead, lol. I'd hate to burden her with guilt or material things.

My wife always asks if we need more ammo. I just bought her an M&P 15-22 Pistol and she was worried shooting a few mags might deplete our stash...lol.

Nobody believes this, but separate checking accounts is key to a happy marriage.

Joint account for bills and food, seperate accounts for fun, personal stuff.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

im sure she has an idea when i tell her "im putting in for another stamp"

The world needs more of these.

 

[Ruger Rich]

I can only care about my guns while alive. And that goes for family and friends. About 4 years ago one of my best
friends passed. I knew he had a pile of guns. He was long ago divorced. His daughter asked me to help value
and identify his collection. I did. She still has nearly all of them. And so it prompted me to list all I had and value them,
identifying many as to whom they go to. The remaining is up to my wife to dispose of. I have an excellent friend on this
site who can be contacted for help in my absence. And logic tells me I'm likely to go before her as I have 15 years on her.

I told my wife I'd be buying a new gun each year

You guys have significant others?

This is my wife…. No worries on the guns and ammo front!

I guess marriage is significant. Right?
