Only if its a special occasion and its meant to be a surprise. Other than that no way. My wife and I are comfortable enough to have some fun but we tell each other that we spent some money. If I am even thinking about purchasing something thats more than 50 bucks I discuss it with her and get her input, deliberate a bit and then decide whether or not its necessary. I like the cushion and the breathing room we have created. I am one to impulse buy on occasion but no matter what I let her know I spent some money that day. We like to stay on top of our finances because it can easily become the biggest headache in a relationship.
