DH volunteers at a bike shop on Saturdays. He started because the owner of the shop is a legend in the biking community and DH wanted to learn. So he's been helping out for about a year when he can.
Yesterday one of our neighbors comes into the shop. DH said that they recognized each other, but couldn't place how they knew each other.
Anyway, the guy brought in his bike and explained that he bought it in another city about 6 months ago right after he was laid off from his job. So, he had the shop owner keep it for him until last week (I guess he got a new job) and had the owner give him a "wife receipt" that was nowhere near the real price that he paid for it. DH said this fool paid $13,000 for this bike!! And obviously the person who sold him the bike knew that he was an idiot because the bike broke after a week. DH said it was constructed wrong.
It's not really my business, but how do you hide that you've spent $13,000? And you cover it up with a wife receipt? Ugh.
I don't hide purchases from DH unless it's a gift for him. If I want something, I buy it. No shame. Same with him. But we're both sensible with money. I just couldn't imagine.
