a couple of good points there, mr. nad.
luckily my wife is not a greedy person, because I don't make alot of money. I mean, she likes the girly stuff but doesn't come up with greedy stuff, for example, when women say that since they're approaching something like a ten year anniversary, they should get a ring upgrade. I mean, I know women don't see it this way, but the ring is supposed to symbolize your committment to them and to your marriage, not a symbol of your hopefully escalated standard of living.
