    Me: “That’s a nice new handbag you got there.”

    The upside of my wife’s thing for expensive handbags is that don’t get any grief when I buy new bike or computer stuff.

        My husband and I have a similar rule: “Can we still afford rent?”

        If yes, then I don’t care how many Warhammer minis you get, as long as you don’t get angry when I get an antique collection of tuning forks for no reason.

      “Yes, I’m not eating for the next 3 weeks”

      I tend to be irresponsible with my money, and if I upgraded I ain’t eating.

    Not sim racing related but same vibe. I collect records and one of the local shops has a sign over the register that says they’ll make a receipt that says you spent whatever amount you want for $5

    The slight defensive tone I imagine to read in some of these comments makes the meme even better
