What drives wives crazy (mine at least) is seeing penny sleeves on the counter, cards on the dining room table, etc. I think if you keep your stuff organized and out of the way, you'll have solved half the battle.
Obviously, if it's a money thing, I'd explain to her that there's a lot of expensive hobbies out there. -Cars, motorcycles, antiques, etc. By comparison, cards are relatively inexpensive and take up a LOT less space. There's a lot of worse to spend your time and money-- bars and "dance" clubs (I use that term loosely out of respect to the younger readers) come to mind.
You and your discoteques lol youre old lol but what if you collect all those things like me? Lol
