Little different when you live with you parents and helps I dont have a g/f anymore either thats saving me about 100.00 a week damn women!!! As far as tools I have most of what I need but I also get half off snap on stuff!!!
I'm on a $25 / month "truck fund" right now.
I have a tire fund too, but that's possibly gonnag et used this weekend up in Barrie for the swap meet. (burlscreek)

ultimately $25 is not a lot, but it's something at least.

Wife does all the money, I just ask if there's enough for something, instead of assuming their is. haha

The former Mrs. Hammer used to give me sh*t everytime I'd spend money on my trucks, Jeeps, bass boat, etc. Which is why she is the FORMER Mrs. Hammer now...

Shouldnt matter if your spending money on them as long as you still have money to pay the bills. My brother in law just bought hoyt alpha max 35 when he has a 400 truck payment plus other bills I just dont understand it. I love buying new toys and stuff for the truck but on the other hand I hate spending money.
