I tell here strictly on a need-to-know basis if it directly affects her life. When I buy a speaker or tool and it is under $500 she doesn't really care. I buy tires all the time and she can't be bothered.
A few years ago I was shopping for another Porsche and I had discussed my choices and my expected $$ range many times. I thought all the groundwork was laid and I even told her I was going to look at one that was in great shape and it was listed at XX amount. The car was pristine so I bought it on the spot and drove home with it. All hell broke loose! I guess she wanted to confer and give a final approval for a $30k Porsche. Oops, my bad!
