I think you did pretty darned well, there Sandra.

The finances are a touchy thing for me, too. Luckily CJ has no spending problems (other than OW related crap...grrrr!...but that's in the past). Thing is, until I took over doing the bills, crunching the numbers etc. we weren't able to save on pretty decent incomes. Now I track every bit spent: lunches, coffees, movies, it all goes down. I was a bit shocked to see how much of our monthly outflow is in the form of food!

CJ never let me see an actual pay stub...I worked with the net amount direct deposited to our bank. Drove me nuts though as the amount fluctuated quite a bit...he never seemed all that concerned.

He's still procrastinating on the 2000 taxes ($4,000 OWED to US) and hasn't done this year's yet either. Keeps promising to "get at it".

Wait! This is YOUR thread! ...sorry, just letting you know this would be a serious issue for me and I'm sure most of us! How did it go?
