So, when the 1M came up for grabs, I was hesitant to pull the trigger on the purchase. But it was my wife who finally convinced me to buy it. She said something about me working hard and deserving it, almost pleading that I go ahead and get it. So I wrote the check not only with her blessing, but her enthusiastic support.

There is a little more to the story, but I'll leave it at that, for now.
My situation was almost identical to yours ...
