Nah, just broke!

True.
My wife takes all my money so I can't waste on on new tech stuff.
All I want is a waterproof time lapse video camera and a Fuli HS 50 semi pro still cam with 42 optical zoom and an external microphone input.

She doesn't realise these are far more important than a house in Bali or food.

I have to ask, were you cool & sexy before?

I know we're all scared of the wife but this isn't helping me get my cameras and I can't think of any lies to get round the problem.

Tell her that if she lets you get the camera you'll let her do whatever she wants in bed for the next month.

I was a DJ. That's really cool and sexy.

Hmmm, in my bedroom, that's standard operating procedure (with my wife of course)! Ìý

As the old line goes, "whip me, beat me, make me write bad checks...just don't leave me high and dry."

Whip me, beat me.

Sounds good.

Only DJs think DJs are cool & sexy.

That's official then; I was never cool or sexy.

I have a really deep, manly voice - does that count?

Another interesting bit of information - all these people looking to buy houses in Bali actually can't.

The idea is, some foreigners will be allowed to buy land but, to stop rich foreigners selling to each other at higher and higher prices, making it impossible for locals to afford property, the foreigner would only be allowed to sell it to the government.

I assume they would be instructed to pay the local norm but I foresee real problems as Indonesia still has a corruption problem.
Officials could easily find ways to fleece sellers and it would be very difficult to do much about it.
