My wife is generous to a fault, but won't buy herself anything. Kids call her the reverse klepto. She can squeeze a nickel in her fist, open her hand, and show you six pennies. We are doing very well financially, and as it has gotten better, she has gotten even more generous yet more tight on spending on herself. Can't even fathom the amount of times I was looking at something for one of my collections when she said, "do you really need that?" She knows I'll respond with, "No, but that's the entire point". I can just imagine what she'd say if I were shopping for a tool chest or map chest or something similar just to store a collection.
