Nice Freelancer and Timbor!

I talk with my wife about it, but make sure I have a plan on where to get the money, bonuses, selling gear, Xmas, Bday, etc so that she knows I'm legit.

That aside, I say all the time:

"You can't put a price on health."

The reality is that exercise will save a lot of money in the long run. And that six pack won't hurt. Just make sure that you buy the bike at a reasonable price so you don't lose your pants if/when you need to resell it. There are lots of great used bikes for sale on the forums, eBay, etc. Be smart and use the bike when you get it. It helps to discuss it with her in advance, but every marriage is difference, so be wise.

Cheers and good luck. We're all rooting for you. We've all been in a similar situation.
