The "wife tax" (slighty OT but not really)

[Bronty]

So......... I have been selling a few things to collector friends. Some local, some over the net.

 

The local stuff when my wife sees it go down basically wants a cut for shopping (roughly 10% of proceeds).

 

The buyer's wives are giving them the same grief, a cut for shopping.

 

Am selling a few things to a guy online. It was a big purchase for him and he had to run it by his wife. Well, she is taking a cut Extra trips to the mall for clothes and so on, working him for spending money with me.

 

Anybody else out there dealing with the dreaded Wife Tax?

somewhat. but to me, the wife tax I don't mind paying. it makes her happy. and it's a hell lot cheaper than divorce & alimony.

You're such a romantic

I don't really mind paying it either. I really don't. I'm just getting a chuckle though out of how everyone's wife in this little circle I am dealing with is charging a tax

On a good day I get an eye roll - on a bad day it's a lecture on spending too much

dear Bronty,

Possible bad timing on your part being within 3 weeks of X-mas now. Wife tax will soon be upgraded to adding to her jewelry collection which, I am sure, will be more pricey than your own collecting/selling habit.

Sure glad I'm single. I only have to pay when I want to

oh she's never short of uses for a little spending money

All depends on how much she was spending before you brought up the comic.

 

 

Generally, if women feel they're being treated fairly (ie you're spending lavish amounts of money on them) then they won't mind as much if you spend lavish amounts of money on a comic.
