My solution was simple - I paid the rent and all the bills, all her money was her own so no argument if I got a new amp or speakers or whatever (which was all the time ).
Yes I have spent quite a lot over the years but I have got a lot of equipment I could cash in.
I wouldn't buy anything beyond the price where there's no point. Just like I wouldn't pay fifty quid for a banana even if I was a millionaire - a banana just doesn't need to cost that much even if it's not a lot of money to you.
Pay extra for looks or build quality? Yes sometimes. But I'd rather not.
Social acceptability? - lol I couldn't care. I'm disgusted by people don't have a proper hi-fi when they could easily afford one. They're lower than drink drivers.
