Husbands!! Grrr!

My husband is "hinting" around for an expensive guitar for his birthday.  He's not a very good hinter.  He pretty much picks his birthday and Christmas gifts every year and has done this for as long as I've known him.  I've never had to come up with an idea for him (which is a bit irritating).  What he's picked out this year will take a payday advance loan so it's not happening. I told him to downsize his birthday wishes (at least by $100!).  His birthday falls a month before Christmas and with six kids, he really needs to consider the finances.
