Okay, but rather than buy it, he had a coworker buy it in order to conceal it. Why hide if it was just innocent savings of mad money?[/quote]

Maybe he has a financially controlling spouse. Maybe that spouse is fine with him having $5 or $10 to occasionally goof around with, but if he had accumulated $400, would want that to go to other household expenses or outstanding debt rather than something "frivolous."

Wouldn't that be a fair request though? I mean, who thinks it's a good idea to buy a sword when you're in debt as OP stated? That's financially irresponsible, and if the wife didn't agree with that purchase, rightfully so.[/quote]

He works full time, they are getting out of debt and for some reason this is really important to him. When was the last time he bought something he really wanted just for himself? AND it sounds like he hasn't even pulled from their collective finances, just squirreled away spot rewards until he had enough to buy it. I am a DW but the idea of my DH scrutinizing every purchase I make and criticizing me for it sounds awful and miserable. There is a middle ground between, 'acting insanely financially irresponsibly' and 'buying something kind of expensive one time that I really really want.'[/quote]
