Folks left out "cook" in my last post meant to say My wife is a good "cook". Scary when you realize you had an unintentional mental pause. I do not have the shopping gene but again I am married to a wonerdful woman although she is a couponaholic. A byproduct I am afraid of being reared in a family with 8 other siblings, and her father wasn't even catholic. Anyway careful shopping and cooking at home help us reduce spending or at least diverts spending toward items of a more lasting nature. I have a brother who unbashfully proclaims that he likes going out and likes being waited on. I agreed but reminded him that its good to be waited on as long as you don't have long to wait.
Essentialy we all spend about the same amount of money it is just a matter of where. All of you enjoy your passions
