I like many others in this thread am on a budget plan. Each month my wife tells me how much I was under and may add to the next months amount or how much I was over and must subtract from the amount. She is really a great girl, and since I am just starting out in the hobby really, there are alot of things I needed and still need up front and will most likely never buy again unless it breaks, ie: my Futaba 9C or my starter... This being the case she is very understanding and knows I will be spending every penny of my budget on RC for a few months as I build my RC base, she even used a bit of her budget this month and bought me my second plane, a ModelTech Magic Extra 300 ARF. I cannot complain she is a wonderful girl, we have only been married for just over a year but met in the 4th grade, and lived 2 blocks from each other growing up so there is nothing we do not know about each other. Our relationship and past lives are so open and familiar to each other that hiding something from her now would be impossible. Well, that and the fact that she does all the bills and checkbook balancing
