Reminds me of a mate who had various nice motors, M3, Porsches, Range Rover etc and always underplayed how much they cost. He went ballistic one day when he found out his wife had spent nearly £1500 on a handbag. During the blazing row it came out she'd always known roughly what the motors had cost and over the years had spent roughly the difference on shoes and handbags.
They laugh about it now. 3 young kids later they drive a Ford people wagon and wear sensible shoes. That said he told me the other day he'd nearly fainted when he found out she'd spent £600 on a set of 3 saucepans. This was during the same conversation where he was telling me about his plans to buy a powered paraglider on the sly! Plus ca change!
