Ok Everyone, I’m gonna turn off the comments here, because it’s getting out of hand. I wanted to blow off some steam because we all work hard in this group to budget our money wisely& pay off debt/ live a life we can afford. Some of your comments made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that, I needed that! Some are a little crazy. For the record, my husband spends all sort of crazy money(if I let him) on me and we DO go out. We moved a while ago and he’s been missing his boys & going out with them, so our mutual friend suggested going out for dinner. (which I totally support, because we’re not joined at the hip, he needed another man to drink with and talk sports) I’m NOT angry at that. What absolutely make me mad was that we ARE PAYING OFF DEBT! We ARE SAVING ALL WE CAN. Going out is ok, but let’s not go overboard. And the restaurant they went to wasn’t that expensive. I asked him to stick to $50. Totally doable. That was the budget for this week. He decided to treat his friend. Very nice of him. But completely out of budget. Had we gone out, it would have been $130 after I paid the babysitter. The point was to save on that, give him time with a friend. Not give ME a heart attack My hubby’s been complaining about feeling lonely. A friend suggested they go for dinner together. Just the boys. $130! He JUST SPENT $130 on DINNER! WTF?! I said $50 is the max this week! SERIOUSLY! Budget blown
