How did you convince your significant other that buying an S2000 was a good idea?

Honestly, I basically just informed her that I was going to buy it. But we're fortunate in that we could afford to do so, and that it hasn't proven to be a financial burden. What's killing me is having 2 kids in college simultaneously, 1 private and one out-of-state tuition! But the S2000 is safe. It's more responsible to buy the house before buying the "fun" car, but home ownership brings with it a lot of expenses, and you might be more likely to ultimately own the car if you buy it before the house. Ditto with children. I applaud your willingness to talk with and consider the feelings of your fiancee or wife. That bodes well for your marriage. Just remember to nod your head and say "Yes, dear", even when you're gritting your teeth.
I can only imagine having a house and a fun car while also have kids in college. I applaud you for not selling it! I've definitely compromised on some other things since she is going along with the S2000 idea, so I understand the whole "Yes dear" thing that husbands typically relate to.

I hope your wife is doing well, sorry to hear about that. It is amazing though that you both could have such a positive outlook to get the most out of the time we have on this Earth while you can.

Married in my 30s to current wife. Her job paid more than mine. We kept separate bank accounts but shared in who paid for food, house payments (I owned a home, she didn't) and 35 years later we still have separate bank accounts. But if I want to buy anything, I tell, don't ask. Then she can convince me I'm nuts, or say go for it. The common denominator is communication. If the S2000 is important enough to you, communicate it, like she did her veneers.
Also I was lucky that my wife had two RX-7s her company provided for her. When time came to replace them, the S2000 was her car, not mine.
