[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the cheap one in my marriage. It’s a point of tension for sure. Pay attention to if it’s a true difference in values, vs just disagreeing if Starbucks is a “rip off.”[/quote] Starbucks *is* a ripoff. Pre-pandemic, I did Starbucks 2-3 times a month (walking, from office, as a way to take a break from work and have a treat). Now I would have to drive from home to go to Starbucks. So why bother? Whereas my wife drives my teenager to Starbucks several times a week and both partake. The disparity is kind of irritating, Little things add up. We earn similar salary, but my wife is the one who spends far more on discretionary items. Like a $60 fake plant for the office that she took over, while exiling me to telework in the cold basement. I've learned to keep my mouth shut, as saying anything only leads to fights. [/quote]
