We have an emergency prep fund that we put cash into every month. It buys things like food/water storage, a generator, etc. The good thing about that fund is that everything you buy is long term (e.g. freeze-dried food lasts 25 years)...so the money stacks up. If I want a new gun every couple of years, the money is there. It has prevented these kinds of arguments fairly well. When she asks "what do you need a new gun for"--I simply reply that I will need to be heavily armed to protect a woman as beautiful as her in an emergency situation, and besides--we have the cash right here. After she rolls her eyes she tells me to pick up dinner on the way back.

--The emergency fund works as a good range and ammo slush fund as well...bonus!
