[quote=Anonymous]Wow, haven't been on this thread since yesterday.  I am the one whose dad died when I was 10 and mom scraped by. I must say, most of you folks on DCUM are distorted.  It is clear to me that most of the PPs have never had to really scrape by.  Have any of you ever had to live on welfare or on nothing?  Do you know how to not only live without cable, but also without a car or wondering if you were going to pay for food or gas first?  It changes you.  And don't think this doesn't happen in the US. It has been ubiquitous since 2008, just not in NW DC, or MOCo or Fairfax, or at least not in your community.  If you lost a $20 bill, would that break your budget for the month?

Get off your horses. The OP has a problem.  The OPs husband has a problem, and all she sees is the $$ bleeding out the door.  I am sure it brings a lot of feelings of her childhood.  If you choose to eat nothing but beans to make sure there is money in the bank, it has to be irritating to hear DH went out and dropped $100 on lunch at a restaurant.  All OP is asking for is advice on how to get DH to spend reasonably, say $15 for lunch instead.

I really find most of the PPs repulsive, attacking the OP instead of attacking the problem.  I challenge you to go back and see where you bleed discretionary money, because I guarantee, most of what you spend on are actually luxuries that are considered necessary by most Americans.  [/quote]
