'I don't trust the economy or the path that the power brokers are taking us down.' That is my wife's reason why I cannot have a new Miller cc/cv longbow or a new Berry or a new Robertson or a new Northern Mist. She is almost always right about these things. I taught her way too much about economy and financing, and sure, we got everything paid off except for her brand new Subaru Outback, but treating me like the obsessive child that I am is just not fair. Talk to either my wife or your wife about it, I bet you get a hundred reasons to resist. Just tell yourself, 'it's just ink on paper and pictures of pretty wood'.
