Man I hear ya. But I have a solution for you.
You know how when you were a kid, you'd say to your pop "dad, my tummy hurts" and then he'd stomp on your foot, you'd howl bloody murder and say why'd ya do that, and he'd say "your tummy don't hurt so bad now, does it?"
Well, its like that.
You need to find something else addictive which is far more expensive. Yachting, Drag racing, fine art collecting, and really pursue that for 6 months or a year. Then, when you "lose interest" in that, sell it all off, and just buy tools, my gosh. She'll count her lucky stars that's all you're spending anymore.
I was addicted to diesel mods, and man thats like crack but costs more. She's so happy I sold that truck I can buy darn near anything now and its all just groovy.
"You only spent $500 on that? Thank the Lord!!!"
Wishing you luck . . .
