Your comments about not spending money for a plumber, driving an old car, and eating eggplant are very similar to my way of thinking. I knew there wrer women out there somewhers like me, just havent met too many in person. Its good to hear not everyone has to spend it all to be happy.
Wish my W would be happy with what we have. W spent $5,200 on television shopping last year, and $2,500 each year for 2 years before that, plus anothe $7,000 on things for the house because it was "her money". Also LD.
