Geez,

My wife often helps me debug and program my vintage computers!
She has gone collecting, but in general I try to keep her away from
places where old stuff gets exchanged for money, lest she get the idea
that this is a reversible process!

And we do have an airplane too, but its not kept in a hanger. Thats
an expense thats not needed. A tie-down parking spot at my local
airport (FIT) only costs about $40 a month.
