Does your wife overspend?

Overspend, as in clothes, shoes and accessories, and decorations? No. She hates shopping.

bucks4me can go out and spend 3 hours at the mall, and she'll come home having bought herself one pair of boots that were half-off a clearance price, but she'll have spent $100 on me going for anything that might have an Ohio State logo on it.

That's why I had to marry her. :biggrin:

The grocery store, on the other hand, is a totally different story. She'll go grocery shopping without a list, on an empty stomach, and not look at price/weight/serving ratios or for sales or anything of that nature. She'll drop $150 at Kroger and somehow still come home with nothing but PopTarts and cereal for the rugrat and a half dozen frozen pizzas for herself.

I find the information that you have a church disturbing.

That is funny, just yesterday my wife said the kids asked her in the car on the way to Church why I never come to church with them.

My wife is also guilty of spending 3 hours scouring the internet for the best price on something just so she can save 3 dollars.

Not married, but on the hair note (& maybe this will make some of you feel a little better)...

My gf's haircut/color runs about $160 after tip. I'm thinking, if I was paying that much for such lunacy, I'd better get a glory hole to go with it. Other than that she doesn't overspend on anything really. I do encourage her to have a spree at (my new favorite store in the world) Intimissimi from time to time, but other than that, she's pretty fantastic with money.

yes, but in her mind she is a saver. Here is an example of Mrs. Nasty math

New Shoes for Kid (retail price) $60
On Sale $40
Savings $20

In my wifes mind she did not just spend $40 on shoes, she just saved us $20.

Mine did that too until I started asking her to show me the money she saved.:wink2:

WTF

what is that fucking thing made of? woolly mammoth tusk handle?

Well, to my wife's defense, she has told me that it is made from only the finest wooly mammoth tusks, harvested from only mammoths fed an invigorating combination of tomatoes and rare Fiji poca nuts.

She doesn't overspend as much as she fails to understand the concept of saving money. If we have ANY savings she suddenly has a trip planned or something of that nature.

So, I take all my extra money and hide it in a seperate savings account :pimp:
