Yes, that's exactly what I said. When you spend the family money on your collections, and she spends it on decorating the house...it's still the family assets...just like a retirement account. It doesn't make a whit of difference that the fun things that you purchased maintained value, while the things that she bought to enhance your quality of life (and that of the kids) are assets that maintain less value.
I look at gun collections (personally) as a retirement account...just because they also happen to be your "toys" doesn't mean that they aren't also hard assets....sorry. And, if your wife worked and helped to pay bills and for maintenance on the house, etc...why on EARTH would you think that the things that you purchased should be somehow "protected" in the case of a divorce?
Because I would never spend family assets on the things she does.
