"My husband wants to buy a gun" HUUUUUUUGE red flag! Run away! A $5000 louis vouitton can't get angry and shoot you in the face Dave. Spouse buys a gun you run the other way. Simple as that.
This guy went about this all wrong. He should have shown her the $59,999 Gatling gun at Rural King and then explained that at 800 rounds per minute will cost another $1,200 a minute to fire it..... Then, told her her would settle for a $5,000 gun.
I agree, he didn’t negotiate in a rational way! Even if she quickly agreed for him to take on the absurd gun, he could have win even more by admitting, “thinking about it, that super gun is absurd, I’ll get this much more sane one instead!” That way he would have 2 ways to win. If they feel a need to be in agreement on large purchases, he’s still got a way to lose.
Very sad, very emasculated comments from too many 'men' that adhere to the 'happy wife, happy life' narrative....pathetic. You're men, take the lead and stop being 'submissive' to your wives....sheesh.
My friend was looking for a Sig 238 and said she found one for $1200 in California. She declined when she realized she was paying double for living out there.
That's because we have the "roster". Literally any new gun is "off-roster" and comes with a hefty price, because the only people who can purchase them new are active law enforcement. The only way they get to the used market is it they are sold on the private market.
@@bmoondi1 I briefly dabbled in USPSA Open after a fellow competitor decided to sell his Caspian 38 Super for 1K. I had already classified Master in Limited at that point. It's far better to learn how to shoot "regular" guns before getting into something exotic and expensive.
"He's sort of new to it all." Yeah, a lot of people who find a new hobby are like that. Guns, golf, cars, gadgetry it doesn't matter.

Move to the midwest and you can buy a house that price or even less. So paid off in full with no cash in hand or paid off in full with money for renovations and/or more guns and ammo.
@Sir We Are About to Die As of now, $50K will get you a 1 bedroom condo unless you want to buy a fixer upper. I got my house in 2016. I could no longer get it for 150K in 2020. Real estate got really expensive in the past few years. But who knows what's going to happen during or after covid19 pandemic😒
I'm the same. I NEVER spend money just because. I always have a goal of a nice trip. But, once in a great while, I'll buy a shirt I don't need, some flowers for the house that I technically don't need, and other little things like that all at once.
I used to think the same way. Now that I have struggled to be debt free, I find I don't need or really want anymore, the things I thought I would. Dave has mentioned before that after going through the struggle, a mind shift takes place. It really does.
I always extensively save. I then think that now I can splurge, I go to the store, see expensive prices and come back home empty handed. I much prefer money than stuff.
I can tell that most of you haven't seen gun shops shelves lately. You could double your money on cheap AR's right now if you had a bunch sitting around. I'm not so sure on one that's 5k though.
He could spend $1,300 to $2,500 on the long gun and get something decent. I would spend the other $2,000 on training and ammo. I love to train and shoot. It is fun but ammunition is very $$$ right now.

Raf Matt back in 1986 registration of new machine guns was eliminated, so there are only so many pre-1986 transferable machines in this country. There is way more people that want machine guns then people that have machine guns, and every year as some are destroyed, lost, or become damaged to the point that they are on usable, there are less of them, and there will never be any more added. The price continues to go up from already insane to astronomical. You can buy a nice A.R. 15 for $1000. To get a transferable full auto example you are going to pay over $30,000, and it’s not because the gun is inherently really any different. It just has a serial number that was registered as a machine gun that existed before 1986. The only difference in mechanical terms is a couple of other stamped sheet-metal trigger parts In the receiver. If you are interested in doing more research, you can look into the national firearms act, the 1986 Hughes amendment, and how the laws and markets work on transferable machine guns, as opposed to dealer sample, post 1986 Machine guns
@UCPO0DrwVAlQeOWywkyMjUcw No it doesn't. That's a common myth. There's no license or granting government permission to enter your home. You would purchase it from a 'Class 3' dealer and fill out a short application, send it to the ATF along with a $200 bribe (tax) and because of their backlog you'll get your tax stamp back in 6-10 months and you can take your item home. Coming from 1st hand experience.
Me and my wife have a system worked out. It might sound silly to some. But it works for us. With our end of the year bonuses and savings. We each get 4,000. We spend it on whatever we want with no questions asked. She normally goes on a major shopping spree with her friends including spas, etc. I normally make a couple of hunting trips a year to get trophy bucks. I one year put an insane sound system in my truck and got mud tires and a winch. It's a way to reward ourselves with 0 worry or guilt.
I like guns, but feel like the wife is right. 5k for a toy is way too much when you don’t even own a home yet. He will buy the gun and the next month he’ll want something else.... I know because I’m the same way
i agree. a toy doesn't bring as much joy as relaxing in a home that you own. there are of course people that will go out and shoot once every 3 weeks, but the average gun owner shoots their gun like once a year. im one of those people that has a closet full of guns but i rarely shoot them.
I like guns but what most people kinda forget is guns are cheap ammo is expensive. Like I probably spend $500-600 a month on ammo. Where as my favorite gun + the my optic + accessory’s only = about 2k... it’s stupid to worry about the cost of a gun if you actually enjoy shooting it.... cause ammo cost a ton more.
@@nerad1994 it is in fact a toy, just like a boat is a toy, a Ferrari is a toy. these are all adult toys. your logic makes no sense mate. a hot wheels toy car is lethal if you swallow and choke on it, but its still a toy. that doesnt mean you shouldn't respect the dangers of a gun, but its still just an adult toy.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem Agree to disagree on the terminology then. Regardless, it's a "toy" that you don't play with. So call it what you want bro.
If I had invested $100,000 into transferrable machine guns in 2000 it would be worth $400,000 today. Guns are actually not bad at holding their value. A purse doesn’t.
Sure... buy it after you buy the house and can’t save with all the expenses a house takes. As someone who has hobbies and payed off mortgage you need to have fun on occasions. Otherwise life would be absolutely boring. If you make $145k you can save $5k in a few weeks. So give the man a break.
Our rule for situations like this is if he gets $5,000 to spend on a luxury purchase, I also get $5,000 to spend on a luxury item. It has worked so well for us, both to keep us in check and to make it "fair." There are times when we give each other the gift of not having to give that amount to the other person, but as a rule it has been great!
When the wife and I paid off our house, we each gave ourselves each an extra $500 to the entertainment fund. When you have reached a significant goal or finished a tough project, it is healthy to give yourself a splurge reward.
The wife wants to spend $150k towards a down payment on the house that SHE wants, and the husband has worked with her to save half of that amount. The husband wants to spend $5k on something he wants and the wife wants to give him a hard time about it. The husband should just buy the gun.
You can do 5 things regarding money: 1. Make it, 2. Spend some of it, 3. Save some of it, 4 Invest some of it, and 5. Give some of it. Thanks for the wisdom, Dave!
Your 5k bag will be worth 500 bucks the day after you buy it. Depending on the gun, chances are it will always be worth at least that amount and pretty much every quality firearm will actually appreciate in value as time goes by.
The main question wasn’t asked - why he does want to buy a gun at all? Where he’s planning to use it? Never poped to my mind to buy a gun and at that price
What I would have told her, is to cut spending in other areas enough where they are able to put an extra savings fund for his gun. If he really wants it!
My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them. Sold for $5000 when really she could pay off the mortgage. 🤣
He is a newbie wanting to compensate for his lack of skill and knowledge by owning an expensive gun. The answer you’re looking for is no. Not today, he can buy it later when he knows more about it. Look, earning $140K as a couple in California is NOT a lot of money. That’s kinda like $70K in Indiana. Prudent people don’t buy a $5K gun with that income.
Both wrong. It's a custom bolt action no doubt. She said he has firearms already, which means he has pistols and semi autos, and maybe a cheaper bolt action would 100% suffice but he likes to spend as well as have the same stuff his friends do.
Third guy is dead wrong too. Nobody “new to shooting is trying to get their hands in a custom bolt gun. It’s 99.9% a custom machined pistol. Almost assuredly a 1911, something out of Atlas comes to mind
@@jacobearnhart7610 to get in California seems impossible. And subject to ridiculous fees and costs above and beyond the cost of the firearm. It has to be a rifle or shotgun. Rifle seems more plausible. Christensen arms carbon fiber build with scope would be 5k and legal in California.
Its probably because its a STI, it's also OFF-ROSTER. I have been a manager of a gun shop for 8 years. I am also an firearms instructor and I have custom glocks etc. Based on what she said, custom gun so it's not a rifle. It has to be a OFF-ROSTER handgun.
Spending 5K on a 200K per year income is not insignificant. Sure, one can do it, but it is a matter of priorities, what comes first. As I was typing this while listening to the video, Dave said exactly these words, LOL.
I don't think it's an issue of whether it's a $500 or $5,000 gun, or even that it's a gun. The issue is that he is still at the point where he thinks more 'stuff' is going to make him happy or bring him more satisfaction in life.
"I really want a house, that's really what I want", "You're setting back OUR goals". No honey, he's setting back what you really want with what he really wants.
What I've learned from a lifetime of purchases like this, is that when you 1st get the item you are ecstatic and then within a few months or years it just ends up sitting on a shelf collecting dust. If guns are his hobby and what he lives for, it's probably okay. If it's not that, he will end up looking at that gun a decade from now and wondering what the heck was he thinking.

As an owner of a $5,000 gun, it’s not a bad investment. Holds value well.
What annual rate of return do you get from it?
Holding its value doesn't make it a good investment. It also means that they should probably sell it anyways just before actually buying the house.
Its not an "Investment" its just an asset that doesn't depreciate as rapidly as some things.

hahaha. I can totally see myself doing this if I do call on the show.. Geez
I’d want several guns if I lived in California
Most of my guns would make me a felon in California lol
Yup
We've lived below our means for 10 years. I just bought my wife a Louis Vuitton bag and wallet. It felt great!
I’m more surprised that someone that willingly lives in Cali and wants to buy a gun😂. That country hates guns
No. We have lots of guns actually... CCL are lots..but also black market... we have lots of ex-military here and law enforcement
Probably a good reason not to generalize. Everyone I know from California owns a gun. All “libs”. 🙄
“He’s new to it all”
There are more of us silent majority gun folks in Cal than you might hear about. We are outnumbered and prefer to keep our heads down.
I am just surprised anyone willingly lives in California.
5000 dollar gun?? Learn to shoot first.
🐐

I suppose you'd also tell a stamp collector to lick every stamp and slap them on envelopes.
I like guns, but feel like the wife is right. 5k for a toy is way too much when you don’t even own a home yet. He will buy the gun and the next month he’ll want something else.... I know because I’m the same way
i agree. a toy doesn't bring as much joy as relaxing in a home that you own. there are of course people that will go out and shoot once every 3 weeks, but the average gun owner shoots their gun like once a year. im one of those people that has a closet full of guns but i rarely shoot them.
I like guns but what most people kinda forget is guns are cheap ammo is expensive.
Like I probably spend $500-600 a month on ammo. Where as my favorite gun + the my optic + accessory’s only = about 2k...
it’s stupid to worry about the cost of a gun if you actually enjoy shooting it.... cause ammo cost a ton more.
Justin Brown a gun is not a toy. Something lethal that can end a life should never be compared to a toy.
@@nerad1994 it is in fact a toy, just like a boat is a toy, a Ferrari is a toy. these are all adult toys. your logic makes no sense mate. a hot wheels toy car is lethal if you swallow and choke on it, but its still a toy.
that doesnt mean you shouldn't respect the dangers of a gun, but its still just an adult toy.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem Agree to disagree on the terminology then. Regardless, it's a "toy" that you don't play with. So call it what you want bro.
For $5,000, better be an old import (like an FN FNC) that will actually appreciate in value due to limited supply.
So excited and nervous you tell your own self HI...sounds about how I would react if I talked to Dave
This is 100% something I’d do then walk around in shame for the rest of the day and try and wipe this whole interaction from my memory forever.
Dave: Rebekah is on the line
Rebekah: Hi Rebekah
Me: 🤦♂️
Hahaha Stop it, she was nervous!
Could have a good return on the expense with the way the world is going
With guns? Yes lol they want to obliterate the second amendment
If I had invested $100,000 into transferrable machine guns in 2000 it would be worth $400,000 today.
Guns are actually not bad at holding their value. A purse doesn’t.
Sure... buy it after you buy the house and can’t save with all the expenses a house takes. As someone who has hobbies and payed off mortgage you need to have fun on occasions. Otherwise life would be absolutely boring. If you make $145k you can save $5k in a few weeks. So give the man a break.
Our rule for situations like this is if he gets $5,000 to spend on a luxury purchase, I also get $5,000 to spend on a luxury item. It has worked so well for us, both to keep us in check and to make it "fair." There are times when we give each other the gift of not having to give that amount to the other person, but as a rule it has been great!
It sounds like the $800K house is her luxury item.
I’m just here for the comments...
I’m halfway through the video and couldn’t tell you a word of what’s been said
I can relate. Several years back I wanted to spend $3K on a "Mare's Leg" 1892 Winchester, but I resisted the temptation.
And if a man would have called in saying his wife wantso to buy a 5000 dollar dress, would Dave been so willing to bless that decision.
No way he would
Guns hold their value pretty well. Compare it more to tools
@@JOMFSE it has nothing to do with its ability to hold value
Eric Kirby it’s a huuuge factor imo
One cannot exactly defend the family with a dress!
Why can't she buy her own purse?
Dave : "I got about, $5000 in the one on my hip" 😂
Buy a $500 gun, you won't feel that bad when you throw it into the ocean.
When the wife and I paid off our house, we each gave ourselves each an extra $500 to the entertainment fund. When you have reached a significant goal or finished a tough project, it is healthy to give yourself a splurge reward.
The wife wants to spend $150k towards a down payment on the house that SHE wants, and the husband has worked with her to save half of that amount. The husband wants to spend $5k on something he wants and the wife wants to give him a hard time about it. The husband should just buy the gun.
Or better yet, the husband needs to adios that bee-otch of a wife. Either get on board or get out!
Yep
Great follow up for that “I have too much money and I’m miserable”
“Unsuccessful people make decisions based on their current situation; successful people make decisions based on where they want to be.”

You can do 5 things regarding money: 1. Make it, 2. Spend some of it, 3. Save some of it, 4 Invest some of it, and 5. Give some of it. Thanks for the wisdom, Dave!
The things I like to do with mine: 6. Look at it. 7. Touch it and enjoy the feeling.
@@thecatnextdoor12 hahaha same here!
$5,000 Gun, dam these poor people struggling!!
Excellent, talk about it.
Lol "Rebecca" we all know it's Meredith Atkinson from DemolitionRanch!
there's so much illumination and zero heat in this.
Hii, Rebeccaaaaa
Guns typically retain value pretty well
Right, and spike on price from time to time, like now.
buying a 5K gun in California is like buying an expensive RV while living on a small island
Thank you for this question. I'm the saver and need a way to work through these discussions.
5k gun In California???? Must be an off roster handgun 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely lol
Off roster 1911
Probably a 22 LR pistol😅
Exactly what I thought!
$5k in California gets you a nerf gun 🔫 at a pawnshop
Spoiler!! He has no use for a gun and neither do you
It’s better to have and not need then to need and not have. Also, $5,000 sounds more like a fun gun and less of a self defense gun.
Stay single and you can buy whatever you like 😁
No need to ask anyone 😂 Men should not ask his women for personal item approvals f outta here!
Agreeeeeeed!!!
@@eliubfj if its his money 100%, if its his and his wifes money in that savings account, its a little different but i agree.
@Frustrated Omegle no that's why you don't get married no benefits for men.
Wow, lots of great advice packed into this one
Your 5k bag will be worth 500 bucks the day after you buy it. Depending on the gun, chances are it will always be worth at least that amount and pretty much every quality firearm will actually appreciate in value as time goes by.
Good for Him.👍
GET THAT HIGH POINT OUT OF MY HOUSE! Dave with some advice for the boys today
Lol his gun cost more then my car
The main question wasn’t asked - why he does want to buy a gun at all? Where he’s planning to use it? Never poped to my mind to buy a gun and at that price
I've bought $5k worth of bluray movies. We all spend our money in our own ways.
What I would have told her, is to cut spending in other areas enough where they are able to put an extra savings fund for his gun.
If he really wants it!
My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.
Sold for $5000 when really she could pay off the mortgage. 🤣
He is a newbie wanting to compensate for his lack of skill and knowledge by owning an expensive gun. The answer you’re looking for is no. Not today, he can buy it later when he knows more about it.
Look, earning $140K as a couple in California is NOT a lot of money. That’s kinda like $70K in Indiana. Prudent people don’t buy a $5K gun with that income.
Whew... Cali is pricey. The gun must have rocket/grenade launcher attachments.😂
Both wrong. It's a custom bolt action no doubt. She said he has firearms already, which means he has pistols and semi autos, and maybe a cheaper bolt action would 100% suffice but he likes to spend as well as have the same stuff his friends do.
Third guy is dead wrong too. Nobody “new to shooting is trying to get their hands in a custom bolt gun. It’s 99.9% a custom machined pistol. Almost assuredly a 1911, something out of Atlas comes to mind
@@jacobearnhart7610 to get in California seems impossible. And subject to ridiculous fees and costs above and beyond the cost of the firearm. It has to be a rifle or shotgun. Rifle seems more plausible. Christensen arms carbon fiber build with scope would be 5k and legal in California.
Silencer, loudener, speed cocker. And this is for shooting down police helicopters.
Its probably because its a STI, it's also OFF-ROSTER. I have been a manager of a gun shop for 8 years. I am also an firearms instructor and I have custom glocks etc. Based on what she said, custom gun so it's not a rifle. It has to be a OFF-ROSTER handgun.
Step one: Leave California. Step two: Don’t vote for what you fled from.
Christy Wright is such a great addition to the show!
She’s a hottie!
They make 10K a month. In reality, buying this gun will only set them back a month or 2 towards their overall goal. Not much of a big deal
Spending 5K on a 200K per year income is not insignificant. Sure, one can do it, but it is a matter of priorities, what comes first. As I was typing this while listening to the video, Dave said exactly these words, LOL.
Just to be clear, buying the house is Her goal. We don't know what the husband thinks about spending $750K on a house.
I don't think it's an issue of whether it's a $500 or $5,000 gun, or even that it's a gun. The issue is that he is still at the point where he thinks more 'stuff' is going to make him happy or bring him more satisfaction in life.
Husband’s #1 mistake: not having a safe large enough for extra guns to hide
"I really want a house, that's really what I want", "You're setting back OUR goals". No honey, he's setting back what you really want with what he really wants.
My take exactly
Rebecca: " Hi Rebecca".
The difference is that a firearm is a pretty solid asset and a $5,000 bag, necklace, ext ext. Is terrible asset.
He’s very new to it. 5k means I’m buying a 1k PSA AR with a 4k night vision setup.
Put in lay a way
I bought a $10K gun and the wife doesn’t know. Separate accounts 🤔
that’s awesome what kind?
@@United010M249S
I got my wife a $3000 Gucci bag, their I got myself a $4000 motorcycle, yeah, she cant complain 😂
i would ask for a divorce.. hahahahaha
$3000 bag?? I hope you are joking....
@@davidchrist428 why? Just because it’s not something you find interest in doesn’t mean it can’t be expensive lol 😂
The moment the wife demands for any Gucci, is the moment you divorce her
What I've learned from a lifetime of purchases like this, is that when you 1st get the item you are ecstatic and then within a few months or years it just ends up sitting on a shelf collecting dust. If guns are his hobby and what he lives for, it's probably okay. If it's not that, he will end up looking at that gun a decade from now and wondering what the heck was he thinking.
“hE cOuLd gEt a $500 gUn.” 🥴
Bless her heart... :D
Might as well send that man to take care of a bump in the night with a nerf gun 🔫
This guy needs a $600 Glock 19 and $4500 worth of TRAINING and ammo...
Why?
No.
