How do you hide the cost of our hobby?

I have been reading here about how much some of us spend each year, credit card usage, and EZPass paper trails. Now the feds want banks to report "aggregate account outflows and inflows" of private bank accounts to the IRS. How do you keep an SO from seeing the "outflows"? I had a part time job that paid me on an debit card which was handy, but they stopped that practice. I need a new strategy. Maybe fake being a closet alcoholic?

I think women are way smarter than men in terms of hiding this stuff.

If she really wants to find out, I think she’ll eventually find out one way or another. I think to a certain extent you need to have the kind of relationship with your SO where, to a degree, she doesn’t give a fuck what you’re doing, even if she doesn’t come out right and say it that way.

I am not saying that you won’t be in a world of shit when you get caught. Even if she doesn’t actually care about you anymore or your dick, she does care about what society thinks about her being cheated on.

One thing I have done in the past, that worked for me, is that I did not have all my money going to my main bank account. Some of it was deposited to a prepaid debit card, and the funds would gradually build up in there. I did not keep a record of that account or card, and the bank that issued it was obscure. Periodically, after a funds built up, I would withdraw cash from the card at an ATM, and pay in cash always.

This idea would not have worked with a SO who was reconciling our monthly budget in detail, because the funds to the prepaid debit card represented it an unexplained hole in the budget.

That’s my alibi 90% of the time.
Tell her I’m playing 18 but in reality play 9.
Leaving me about 2hours of free time.
Winter months, ranges and simulators.
Golf can be a year round excuse
This is what I do with my married friends—we only play 9 rounds which gives them an extra few hours for mongering.

They use their credit card to pay for golf and I treat them to an amp visit. So it works out perfectly.

The gym is what I do... I go to one with classes that last around an hour. The 15 drive it would take me can be used to instead drive to the place. I leave in my gym clothes, which makes it easier to get undressed when I arrive at the mp. I do the hour, which is equal to how long the gym class is... the difference though is that most hour amp visits don't last the full hour unless you take the postgame closing massage, which I don't, so I can get out, call the missus, and get home to where I shower straight away. Plus the energy and sweat I get during the sessions can be like the gym just about.

The only difference between your routine and mine is I literally go shower at the gym or the amp/provider. Now, keep in mind that showering at the gym makes you honest about "going to the gym"
