@ Intenseslacker: Great points. Slow draining of funds is how I'm currently operating. Transport fares, weekly office gambling games etc. I think I can excuse around $100/week plausibly. But it'd be great to find more excuses. Going out on the town semi-regularly is a great idea. I'll be looking to put aside some work-related reimbursements now and then too.
CunningLinguist: Going a little off topic, I don't want to be too detailed on here given it's a possible way to trace my account to the real me. But basically, I've visited places of ill repute in the past and owned up to it on the basis that honesty is of prime importance in a relationship. The results were ugly. After years now of talking about it and trying to negotiate something that everyone can be comfortable with, it's clear that she's never going to accept my needs for this sort of thing.
I see it as a choice of a) punting openly and losing most of what I care about; b) not punting and miserably resisting the urge; c) throwing away everything so I can punt freely; d) punting in secret. d) is the only option which has any chance of giving everybody happiness. It seems sometimes dishonesty is the best option, especially when dealing with people who just can't accept reality.
