Im Getting Bad
My wife limits me to a allowance once a week. So know I have to save up for what I want to get, or where I want to go.

What a bummer! Im soo bad at saving. I wish I could find a site to get gear extremely cheep!

Make a deal with your wife that if you cut back on something, like pack a lunch rather than buying fast food each day, then you can spend the savings on gear. If you eat out occasionally, learn to cook a special meal for your family, and use the savings for gear.

Find a part-time job.
I use the money I get from my National Guard pay to get my gear. My wife has no problem with that at all.
So maybe the guard is not a viable option for you but there are some cool weekend jobs out there. REI is looking for some part-time workers right now. That job would be the bomb!!!
