My wife HATES my car.

So lets talk about men who have modest incomes but spend big money on the car hobby
They like to say they provide a home and meals for their families first as a justification for spending money on a hobby car.
Im from a different mind source, my wife and I have done without for the majority of our soon to be 48 year marriage
Id buy that woman clothes for Christmas as all she had was hand me downs and then never see her wear them
After awhile I discovered she was returning them and using the money for the kids
I put every nickel and dime into my kids, education braces, weddings, after that it was fixing the home up.
When we finally saw the day of light financially and had some breathing room, we found out she has a incurable cancer, that was almost 12 years ago
Ive cared for her every day since and awhile back I spent 4 grand to buy a beat to **** 69 Plymouth convertible. At that point the money I made at my second job funded my hobby
She is supportive of what I do and even encouraged me to buy the old CJ2A jeep have now as a second project
She knew from the day we met I was into cars and she respected I waited 35 years to get back into cars
So the bottom line is this.
Some of us are well off and God Bless if your are. Those guys can afford hobby cars at a younger age
Some of us are just working guys

Pick a woman who has her feet on the ground, one you can trust without a shed of doubt
One who will be a good mother and a good partner.
Have you're priories in order
I see to many guys who work one job, make ok not great money
They have all the toy's. A hobby car, the guns take hunting and fishing trip. Maybe a boat
There kids and wife dress like ****, their homes are run down. The kids need braces they never get
The list goes on and on
They think because they provide food and shelter they met their obligations
I have zero use them and when their kids get older and their wife finally gets fed up and divorces them, takes them to the cleaners. Good for her
