How to keep peace in the saltwater household.

As I couldn't possible get away with hiding the money I spent -- and my wife is CHEAP, I quite smoking. But of course, I negotiated first.

That what you would spend on smoking, add it up, and them pull this -- "Hunny, if I quite smoking can I take half of the money each month and spend it on the tank" Cheapo wife (please don't let her read this) will always see that you end up in the plus and I get about $200-300 a month on top of what i WAS spending on the tank

lots of other options to clean up more money for frags/equipment -- stop getting a coffee form tim's every morning and make my own coffee before I head out, etc.

I've ended up now with about $500 a month set aside for my tank. Of course, I don't smoke, drink, eat out much, or generally do anything else that is fun anymore
